Hi Mike

Quite the mystery.

One more tying to check and see if you already have a Text Layer created.  Once a path is has text associated with it, even with the Text Layer selected, the wavy line will not show again.  If that is the case, then you need to double click the Text Layer icon to open it up and it should show the text insert marker along the path.  Also, it was not clear that you tried reseting Preferences as suggested by IamSam.  Also, the screencapture you mentioned would be interesting to view yet I did not see a link to a sharing web site to see the video.

Hope you get this resolved soon
