Thanks for the tip, Justin, but it didn't change anything. All the bundles were already checked off (therefore active) including Text. Went back and forth several times, even clicked on "Reload Bundles", to no avail.
Kind of giving up! (I'm using TM just for text and Ruby dev., paradoxically, the Ruby bundle works fine!).
Too bad because there are many TM features I like.

Thanks for the answer.
There is indeed a status bar at the bottom of the edit window, but there's no "plain text" choice, only "textile", which I selected.
 


If 'Plain Text' is not in the drop-down then you have disabled the 'Text' bundle.

Goto menus: Bundle->Bundle Editor->Show Bundle Editor, at the bottom of the window is a button labelled 'Filter List', in the list make sure to tick next to 'Text'.
