Text disappears in text box

There was an error rendering this rich post.

When I create a text box, the text shows up but as soon as I click away the text disappears. If I click the text box again the text shows.

Text box shows text:

Click away and it disappears:

I have tried reimporting/deleting the font but it does not resolve this issue.

Have you tried to change the text color in the Properties panel?

@Jes Stafford That was my first thought but you can see from the first image the font color isn't the issue.

@Avery Fails can you show your settings sidebar for the text box.

This is what it looks like. @Luke Shiras

I'm curious about what happens when you change your font size to something smaller (12), deselect the text box, and then select it again. I assume the white area on your sidebar will show the text but will it also appear in the actual text box?

Ditto @Luke Shiras . Flag raised for me is the document size indicated in the snip above. Test the text on a larger sheet and I bet it works.

I have been having the same problem. It affects the typewriter tool as well. It does not matter the size of the font, the type of font, or the size of the paper. I am so frustrated that the main thing I need to use Bluebeam for does not work. (Redlines)

I knew if I posted this, I would finally figure out what was wrong. The text opacity in the properties was set to 0%. 🧐Not sure how that happened, but I can continue as normal.

Been there, done that. Usually in Revit.
