As Shikha mentioned above, if you're just looking to create some simple read-only text (with optional formatting), you would just use a!richTextDisplayField().

Yes ok, I want to insert a single line of text and what type of element can I insert?
RE: Text field appears with no reason bug.

Then why not just remove the richTextField() item? I guess I still don't understand why you're using the Rich Text Input field when you don't want a Rich Text Input. For starters, you can just comment out lines 53 - 67.

I'm unclear what the issue is...
What we're seeing in your screenshot is exactly what we'd expect to see with the code you posted: you're using the Rich Text Editor plug-in to create a richTextField() item, with no pre-set value, along with the instruction text we can see. What were you expecting to see instead?

Line 53 richTextField, Is this any custom rich text component ? Which Appian version are you on ?

Please provide more information if available including
screenshot(s) of the issue on your form,
the SAIL code used on your form, at least as much of it as you can share, pasted into a "Code Box" (use functionality insert -> insert code)
