Have you checked http://status.nintex.com in that moment? Maybe the "Workflow Designer" service was facing issues? I'm looking at the action and it works just fine:

Do you face such issue with other "Body" fields? Maybe you can find something in the WebDeveloper console?   

I think this issue is rather computer-specific - maybe it's because you have something blocking scripts, maybe browser related, don't know, but trust me - it works just fine

I think Tomasz is right, everytime I've seen something like this there has been a general problem with Nintex or Azure.

‌ have you solved your issue? Do you find my answer as correct? If not, can you share your solution?
