Can't Edit Annotative text, move, rotate or erase

Created L200 Annotative text in C3d drawing w/ SP1, INSTALLED SP2,
working in dwg now I can not move, rotate or erase the text that is annotative (the two scale symbols) appear at every piece of text. I tried making in the STYLE text box toggling on and off "Annotative Text" does not help. Also did -purge Regapps, still can not edit text
.

I've seen this one too. Try closing and reopening your drawing.

I just tried that, still can't do simple text edits. I think I am going to save the dwg back to '07 acad and fix the text.

Audit the drawing. Then you will be able to edit annotated text. It will
happen again and just re-audit. No need to close and reopen.

I am not sure about SP2 but in SP1 the thing that triggered this problem was a save or autosave. When you first open the drawing it works fine. After a save you can no longer edit annotative text until you audit the drawing.

I just had the same error show up in Autocad 2012.

 

I was working on the file this morning no problems. This afternoon edit some text issue shows up. audit the file I can move the text rotate copy. As soon as I edit a string of text Autocad no longer lets me do anything with that string. I get an error object is already open if I try to change any properties in the properties dialog box.
