It seams that the only way to go around this problem is to switch to Android-18 in Graphical Layout. If SDK API 18 is missing then it should be installed through SDK Manager. Once installed, restart Eclipse switch to Android SDK API 18 in Graphical Layout, the update properties should work.

Try the outline section (top right corner), right-click on textView then select edit TextSize?

I'm having the same problem. The 'edit TextSize' fix applies to a glitch within mountain lion, in which you specifically cant adjust the textSize property. I (and presumably Alex) am unable to adjust ANY textView properties. I'd really appreciate some help if anyone knows anything! I'm using Eclipse for windows 64bit version.

Yeah, I was able to fix it by installing all updates for API 19 through the SDK manager
