A while back, Xara added the ability to have text placed into an object and added Auto-Fitting to the shape. So, if you have an object selected, like your rectangle, as soon as try to type in text that is within the bounds of the selected object, say a rectangle, a photo or any other object, you will get the pop-up. Select On-top if you just want text on its own over the object, Fixed inside if you want text at the selected font size but staying within the bounds of the object, or Auto-fit inside of the previously selected object. Try the combinations to understand how this works.
If you don't want to see the pop-up, make sure that nothing is selected before selecting where you want to type text, or, if something is selected, position the start of the text somewhere outside of the selected object.

Auto-Fitting Text
A powerful and time-saving new option that automatically resizes your text to 'best fit' into any shape. Forget about manually adjusting your font size, just turn on the new auto fit feature and type away - what you type will be automatically re-sized to fit. What's more it works with mixed font sizes, maintaining the relative size, and it even works with repelling borders!
