could be that the flapper is not sealing properly so it is just never filling the tank. If the flapper sits to high and does not close then the tank never fills.

It is not constantly running, no. The tank fills just fine, then slowly drains.

Flapper valve. Make sure you have right size. There are two major sizes.

If there is one thing you learn from this it is that nothing is "universal".
