How to re-edit a text layer after saving xcf file

How to re-edit a text layer after saving xfc file and re-loading it?

This is a multi-layer xcf file with layers of text, and various layers of graphics.

Normally, selecting the text layer and text tool, allows the user to click on the text. The text box becomes active and adjustable, and text can be edited.

However, I have just re-loaded an xcf file - saved as - and found the text layers to be uneditable. The text border is dotted.
Any attempt to click on it simply starts a new text file.

It is as if the layer is locked. If so, how do I unlock it?

Note: the chain lock is not active.
