Adding or changing content of a textframe makes them disappear

• Feb 6, 2024 - 10:13

Happens in in longer scores (more than 5-6 pages). As in subject, frames with text in them disappears and the rest of the layout of the scores is stretched and crippled in odd ways. The easiest way to get it right is to save and quit, and then re-open the score. It then works until you alter any frame again. Sometimes it has temporarily been restored when changing the layout of other items, like a bar or some notes in a bar, but the frames disappears almost immediately again. By switchng back and forth between different views, sideview and continous, may also help.
I saw a thread about simlar problems and tried the soultion to revert to factory settings, which didn't help, and I tried it on another computer, behaving exactly the same way.

Edit: have tried it on two Windows computers, they behave the same. But on a Mac it seems as it's no problem. Perhaps it's related to Windows Qt implementation?

Please provide an example score where this happens and describe exactly what needs to be done to demonstrate the problem: Which frame to alter, how to alter it etc.

Try this one. Take any textframe, for instance the one directly after Section II on page 2. Double click the text and add some more text. The frame becomes invisible. It's still there, but I have to either close and open the score again, or toggle to Continuos view, scroll some, and then toggle back to Side view and scroll some more.
Attached a doc with some screenshots
Just to add a twist, with the same score, selecting multiple notes to add the same fingering to them have the same effect on the frame and layout.
