Type disappears when editing in InDesign CC

When selecting type -- either placing the cursor in a text frame or double-/triple-clicking to select a word or line of text -- the selected text is momentarily invisible. Deselecting all makes it reappear, as does zooming in or out. However, it is difficult to edit text when you can't see it. This problem occurs randomly. I updated from CS5.5 about two weeks ago, and am running OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro with 32 GB of memory.

In the last few days I've encountered the same disappearing type issue. Editing is now very complicated. Placing the cursor into the text box will make the line that the cursor is in disappear, then I blindly type my change, and as I begin to type, ALL the text in the text box disappears. To see the text box again, I figured out that when I scroll down the page and the "empty" block disappears at the top of my work window, I can scroll back down and the text reappears in the text box. This is most inconvenient when I have my client on the phone rapidly giving me corrections.
I'm running Maverick 10.9.2 and InDesign CC 9.2.1

  • Type cursor disappearing when editting code

    Hello all,
    i am encountering a problem where the typing cursor disappears when im editting my code. This really is ennoying and bothers the heck out of me.
    Especially when im navigating trough the code using the arrow keys - i simply can't see where i'm at in the code.
    Right now i am very disapointed because it has taken me months pondering, whether or not to sign up for Creative Cloud (Student membership).
    Now that i finally singed for a year's commitment, i see the code editor is virtually unusable because of the cursor-in-hiding....
    Hopefully this issue will be fixed sooner than later or i will have to cancel my subscription and deny Adobe from charging my credit card for the monthly fee :-(
    Has anyone else been undergoing the same problem, and maybe fixed it?
    Gr.
    Niels

    That is a known issue to Adobe. Apparently, it's a defect caused by the new code highlighting behavior. You can submit an official bug report here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • Tiff transparency disappears when imported into InDesign C6

    I have a problem With my tiffs - they lose the transparency when I import them into InDesign.
    The original tiff can be imported without problems.
    To ajust the size of all of the original photos, I used the Image Processor in Photoshop. This seemed to work fine, the transparency is still shown in Photoshop, but now disappears when I import the tiff into InDesign.
    I do hope anyone can help me with this problem

    When saving tiff in PS ensure you tick Save Transparency box:

  • PDF text disappears when placed in InDesign

    I am experiencing trouble keeping the text I type onto a pdf form visible once it is placed into an InDesign document.

  • Text disappears when editing a layer in Dreamweaver 8

    I have had a problem for a long time now with text
    disappearing while I'm editing it in a layer. If I scroll up to the
    top of the page and down again (sometimes a couple of times), the
    text will reappear, but this is cumbersome (and rather annoying).
    Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something I'm doing
    incorrectly? Any help anyone can offer would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Do you still have this problem when you
    select that layer in the layers panel?

  • IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
    When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
    I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
    Anybody have any clue what's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why do my pdf files disappear when placing into Indesign CC?

    I was working a late night rush project. When I came to the point of placing pdf files in my indesign CC document nothing worked. The first files showed up missing their header. They next file simply did not appear on the page. They previewed ok. The eventual work around was to place them in Indesign 5.5, an older program. Then they came in fine. I need to have an answer to why this happened. I was not placing the files from the cloud on somewhere on the internet but from my hard drive. I am getting very frustrated with this new CC application.

    Try showing the import options and make sure the crop option you want to use is one that is not grayed out.

  • Shapes disappear when editing anchor points (CS5)

    Hello,
    Some of my shapes simply disappear on mouse button release after moving anchor points or adjusting the bezier angle. The edit history does not mention any deletion; the event is registered as "move point" so I can "edit->undo move point" to have my shapes reappear.
    This looks like a bug to me, but I'm quite new to Flash - I may have missed something.

    Here is what they are referring to if this does not happen on everyone's then it is a common enough issue to figure out a solution but as far as I know it has always been this way, if anyone is seeing it differently we should know how they work around it so we can all benefit.
    I agree if you want to draw a shape over other objects say as a clipping mask then you should not have to have a stroke which can be one distracting and two you prevent you from seeing an important small detail that might be important.
    It might also be useful to be able to make this guide vary in width to mimic a stroke to see how it will effect the underlying art. I know why not just use the stroke and give it a color and transparency which is not the point the idea that you are creating art and you want to investigate you possibilities before driving yourself crazy selecting stroke colors and widths is the issue. It is more for the visual process and not finalized art and we are use to using the layer color to let use know what layer it is on so a color will only interfere.
    It would be good to change this behavior and get everyone's input here of how they would like to see this drawing capability improved IMO.
    I think it is a good issue to bring to the surface once again.

  • Photos disappear when editing

    I created a website using iWeb. Now I want to edit the site using Contribute.
    After launching Contribute, When I connect to my website I see my photos. However when I click on edit, and the page downloads for editing, the photos are gone. What's happening?
    On a page that has a lot of text and photos, after clicking on "Edit" I got an error message: "Could not copy the page to your computer."

    Lets start with giving us some actual information besides you having a problem
    What version of iPhoto? Exactly how are you "moving" the photos between events
    The most general way to move photos between events is to falg the photos, select the target event and use the move flagged photos to selected event command
    And as a suggestion - events are not good for organization - consider leaving tehm alone and useint albums and folders to organize -it is easier and much more flexible

  • Report tabs disappear from Edit mode

    Hi,
    I am experiencing a seriously puzzling issue in BO XI R2 (Web Intelligence). A user claims that she lost half of the tabs in her report after it was migrated from staging to prod with Import Wizard.
    Indeed when I click on Modify, in the Edit Report view several report tabs are missing. It's not just a case of scrolling to the right unfortunately...
    I first thought that the user deleted the report tabs accidentally but when running the report, the missing tabs show up.
    There is no such thing as a hide functionality from what I hear I checked in the report map but the missing tabs are not visible there.
    Any idea?
    The BO version is 11.5.9.1076 which is SP3.
    A hotfix released with CHF20 (ADAPT00722944) is said to have resolved a similar issue where the last report tab of a multi tab web-I report would disappear when editing it This should be covered by SP3 though so I should be getting this issue.

    Oh Boy. I am now experiencing this behaviour in Webi. The webi is still in Dev. When I ran on info-view with 'view' mode, it has displayed all tabs in the report, but when I pressed 'Edit' button and did some variable changes, I lost all tabs, but for the first one. I hit the Save button without noticing this behaviour.
    I fortunately had a copy of this webi. I see the same behaviour there. View mode shows all tabs, but as soon as I press Edit mode, I lose all tabs except the first one. For now, I am not saving it and coming out. But I need to make changes to this webi.
    Strange!!
    Anyone else is facing this issue or any SAP solution. We are on BOBJ XI R 3.1 SP3 (We don't have FP3.2 yet)

    Adobe flash CS6 crashes when using the type tool or Editing word all the time... please help!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

  • Content of linked files in a inDesign-document refuses to update when edited.

    The problem:
    I have a question about linked files in an inDesign-document.
    We have a indesign-file (indd) wich contains text, linked map-illustrations and ads.
    One of the linked maps gets changed by an external map-producer via an VPN-tunnel. He works directly on one of the existing linked files (a map), and does not change the name or location of it after editing.
    After the change, we open the indd-file again, but no dialog-window appears telling us that a link needs to be updated. So we do it manually, but the changed content doesn't get updated in inDesign.
    If we target the linked file and choose to open it in illustrator for editing, all of the changes that was ment to be there, still is. It just doesn't show up in indesign. This also shows that the linking isn't the problem.
    The file is only placed at one spot in the document.
    Workaround:
    1. If WE (not the external map-producer) open the linked file and save it again (same name, same location), inDesign instantly promts us to update the link and the graphics updates without problem.
    2. If we place the file in a another location of the same inDesign-file, the correct content shows. (But still, the existing one does not update.)
    Question:
    Is there any way you can think of that could make this happen?
    If so, How can we solve it without having to use the workarounds?

    This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
    Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

  • On fcp6 - all of a sudden my titles and images disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit or see titles.

    titles and stills work fine in playback, but disappear when timeline stops. Can't edit titles. Can't find how to bring things back. restarted FCP and Mac.

    Second image shows outline of title over background image.  All images are .jpg finished in Photoshop as I normally do.  They worked fine during the first half hour of editing.
