Still happening. I cannot create my document, so what do I do?

Update: My wireless keyboard caused the issue when I hit enter to start a new paragraph. When I use my laptop keyboard the text frame works as intended.

This is happening to me as well. And in Illustrator too. Very frustrating!!

Text disappearing while editing is still my biggest issue, even with new versions of the program.

This issue is plaguing me now, and I will attempt to install a 2018 version of InDesign work from that. The same lame response from InDesign "Admin" appears several times in this thread. How can this issue go unaddressed for the large user base having problems with disappearing type, or will all of your development resources be diverted to the new Apple silicon versions of Adobe products?

Same problem here, as of this evening. Help!!!! Please fix this!!! ID 16.0.1. Text is there, exports to pdf fine, I can edit it in editting window but disappears on page.

Same problem suddenly (in the last week) with InDesign 14.0.3 (2019). So it may not be Adobe if across different versions? If it is then Adobe needs to fix this ASAP or tell us what is wrong.
Thanks

Same problem. ID needs to fix this ASAP. I have wasted so many hours redoing text boxes and now image frames too. What is going on????! This update is a disaster. Why did I run the update?
PLEASE FIX IT.

Happened to me also. I had saved my document with the list number.
I suppressed the list number and my text reappered .
But it's not helping me cause I need to count those paragraphs...

I tried what last anonyme said (story editor. Scroll to the part which says"overset text". Delete the line before) but it didn't work for me. I'm also in ID 2020 on a MAC

Something which worked for me. Go into story editor. Scroll to the part which says"overset text". Delete the line before and whalla...

Also in version 16 there is always the problem of the text that disappears ... TO BE SOLVED PLEASE! how can you work in this way?

In documents with notes it becomes really difficult to work, I confirm that it cannot be trusted, it takes a long time to check and verify the layout, SOLVING THIS PROBLEM IS VERY IMPORTANT!

I have exactly the same problem. In the last few versions of InDesign CC2020. I suspect footnotes. This is very stressful bug, I can’t trust InDesign anymore the text frames are filled with text. I have to check EVERY page to make sure there are no extra blank pages :-(

Mac osx 10.14.6
Indesign 15.1.2 (latest version)

1). The text disappears from some pages when formatting is performed, (moves to the next page), moving the empty text box, the text reappears. The same goes for the footnotes, they disappear.
2). The display from -preview- to -normal- (with and without rulers) does not update, the changes made to the text are not displayed correctly when switching between views ...

Driving me nuts. The simplest task takes so much longer than it needs to.

I am busy with the Annual Report, after a working so ******* a 240 page document text on 139 pages just disappear, mind you i have to send a revised file to approve for printing. What the heck do i do now??

Adobe cc on Macbook 2015

… and it seems to be the same problem as in these bug reports:

How long shall it take for Adobe to fix this really serious problem? Nearly one year since Adobe's last response – one whole year! What do you do over there? Please fix this bug before anything else, this is very frustrating and dangerous!

I am having the same problem here, terribly frustrating, I am working on a 100+ pages document and this is costing me so much time. This is absolutely unacceptable. I am using the cmd+opt+c command (resize text box) every time I make the slightest change to a text box to be able to have the text re-appear.

August 2020, running InDesign 2020 on Catalina 10.15.6

I am using InDesign 2020 and this has done this to me for the 1st time. None of the suggestions are fixing the issue. I am on a MAC - Catalina 10.15.4

This is so frustrating... every time I edit a text box.
