When this happens, pause the game and check if the dialogue UI's Subtitle Text GameObject has the dialogue text. If so, then the dialogue UI is correctly setting the text, but Unity UI just can't display it. This may be because the Subtitle Text's Rect Transform is too small for the size of the text and the font; or the Subtitle Text may be positioned where it's not visible.

Your screenshot shows the response menu panel. Expand it and check the button.

Inspect the Response Text and figure out why it's not visible. Maybe it's too small to fit your font. I don't know; it's going to be specific to your project.

Are you talking about this gameobject? That is the last one in the Response tree and as you can see on the left editor window there is nothing, i tried scalling etc.. Nothing..

The Dialogue System names the button itself (the "Response:") GameObject with the node's text. Since the blue node doesn't have any text, the Response Text is blank. Add some text, or get rid of the blue node.

If the blue node doesn't have text, then of course you can't see any text. :-)
