QCAD 3.24.3 and 3.25.2 (Qt 4 and 5) exhibit this behavior on Lubuntu 20.04 Mate.
The text "301G5" in the PDF (above the top left corner of the blue model) is not in the DWG when displayed in QCAD. I have used cloudconvert.com to generate the attached PDF from the same drawing saved by QCAD. Exporting the DWG to DXF yields the same results in QCAD in that the text is not visible.
A Select All will show the corner to grab to move it, but will not show the text. Interestingly the corner is selected in QCAD by highlighting around the origin of the drawing, as are several block type objects.
I have tried changing the text rendering as paths and text as mentioned for some similarly related issues without success.
The saved file from QCAD opened in DraftSight and ACAD shows the 301G5 text.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

Re: Text hidden and not selectable
hi,
Your text is indeed an Attribute definition.
Use Selection Filter on 'Attribute definition', hit replace selection.
The text is indeed '301G5'
The prompt is 'Device Descriptor'
How? why? Don't ask, I can not answer that.

Re: Text hidden and not selectable
CVH,
Thank you, that is very helpful. I can edit the text. As of now that is what I need.
Is there a configuration issue as to why it is not rendered visible in QCAD?

Re: Text hidden and not selectable
For some reason the text info is missing. If I type it in everything looks good to me ...
