I have a quite simple page with a standard component.  
Text is editable as expected.

As soon as I add a Modal component, this text can not be edited any longer,  
Just the text within the modal.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to Open Modal (SHOW) to change text in Modal then you need to **close** modal to change your other text. I think you are trying to change the text with Modal Open (SHOW) and not closed.
