SL2 - Objects disappearing
Oct 14, 2014
I have several objects on a slide and the more I work with the slide, adding text and triggers, the more objects start disappearing. They are not hidden behind other objects and the eye is not poked out. When I preview the slide, they are there, just as they should be. But when editing, I cannot see the object to edit it. In the pic below you will notice all other objects have the eyes poked out, except for the freeform object i need to adjust. Notice in the second picture, the object shows up in Preview. I cant see it to adjust the size of it, though when editing. This also happened on 2 text boxes. I had to just re-create them.

This has happened to me as well. I posted about it some time ago regarding dissapearing zoom regions, but this happens with regular objects on larger files as well.
Hello Carrie,
I have not heard of this yet. Could you attach the .story file so we could take a look?
Hi Emily,
I have posted the project file to support case # 00428694.
Thanks for the update, I will keep an eye on the case as well.
Hi
Just wondering did this ever get resolved ?
I have just experienced this same issue, only difference is it does not display in preview, so I have to go through and put all the pictures in again for my project.
Also, I noticed that if I delete the picture that is not displaying and then insert it again, the newly inserted picture also does not work, however if I rename the same file, then insert it again, it then displays.
In my case, I did have the project stored on a network drive, so I am assuming it has something to do with this.
However, it would be good to know if any other issues can cause it also ?
Cheers,
Paul.
Hi,
It just happened again even though the project is saved locally on the C: drive.
It seems to happen if you leave your computer for a while and it goes into power saving mode.
I'm on Windows 10 if that helps

Paul.
Hi Paul. Thanks for sharing all of that information. You hit a couple of things right on the head: working on the local C: drive and also leaving the application open for a long period of time. This article provides tips for preventing file corruption. If you'd like to share your file with us, we'd be happy to take a look!
I know you said that you moved the file to your local drive; maybe import those slides into a new project altogether on your local drive to see if that restores those objects.
Hi Crystal,
Thank you for the update. This all makes sense and I don't think I need to share the file with you at this stage.
Thanks again.
Paul
