Hatch keeps disappearing.

I'm using Standard. When I do a polyline and select "Specify Entities" the hatch will show, but if there's text box inside, when I click on that as an internal boundary, the entire hatch disappears. I have to keep using "Specify Points", which is incredibly time consuming when there's multiple lines overlaying the area. Is there a way to fix the Boundary issue? I have tried this within a polyline boundary (both closed and open), and also within a rectangle boundary etc. There is some problem with selecting boundaries. Thanks, Chris
