All my text in an item suddenly disappeared.  Not sure exactl;y what happened but it was suddenly gone.  See blank item cell:
 
 
I tried to retype the text but it started flashing text on and off.  If I continue typing, the cell remains blank:
 
But if I exit to select mode, the text appears:
 
When I re-enter edit mode, the text disappears again:
 
 
I've tried: restarting InfoQube; compacting the database; closing all Infoqube files.  Nothing resolves it.  Problem appears to be limited to this one item.  Guess I'll create a new item and move all the subitems and field info to it..

Finally stumbled on something that appears to have resolved it: right-click>font>[select size].  When I increased the font size, the text suddenly appeared and everything is ok.  Weird.

Hi Wayne,
 
A couple of things if this happens again:
  1. Copy / Paste to Notepad
  2. Column > Show HTML Codes
  3. Pop-up Editor
If you still have it, share with us the item text that caused this, I'll try to reproduce it and provide a fix / safeguard for it

This might be related an old bug that's been there for the last 5-6 years : sometime the text of subitems will disappear (not really disappear, but visually).
I was never able to reproduce it at will. It would be great if a solution could be found.
 
Workaround that still work (for that specific problem, but doesn't in Wayne's case): 
- Refresh the grid
 
What use to work but don't any more :
- "show all subitems"
