I’m not sure if this was reported yet but with 5.99 on macOS Big Sur from yesterday the footprint editor won’t let me change the layer of a text item. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a newly-created footprint or an existing footprint. 

Just open the footprint, open the properties -> General, click on one of the entries in the Layer column. The drop-down pops up as expected, and you can select a different layer, but that change isn’t accepted once the drop-down is closed.

It’s Issue 7671 in Ye Olde Bugge Tracker https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7671
