The two most likely causes are:


1) The page refreshes upon submit and the text is not retained in the text box.  Though sometimes confusing to users, this may be considered proper behavior that follows the requirements.  Look elsewhere on the page to find a message thanking you for your submission.  Verify the submission by checking to see if the entry was captured in the database. Review the application's functional requirements and technical specifications to determine if this behavior is intentional. If not, author a defect report.  If this behavior matches the requirements, author an enhancement request.   


2) The entered text may have been invalid and the text box deliberately cleared.  Unfortunately, this can be confusing to users when no validation message appears to inform them that their input was invalid.  The validation message may be somewhere on the page but not in a location or format that makes it apparent.  Again, examine the database to determine whether the information had been submitted. If not, then the text was either valid and not handled properly by the program or it was invalid but the application didn't alert the user.  Review the application's functional reequirements and technical specifications to determine whether how this behavior was intended. If this behavior does not meet requirements, file a defect resport.  If it does meet requirements, submit an enhancement request.
