AD Text is invisible and shouldn't be


Recommended Posts

Can anyone explain why the text in the attached file is invisible?  I can move it, change font, AD shows my fill color is changing when I change it, but I can't figure out how to make it visible.  Any FX I try to add is also invisible.  This is driving me crazy, I've never had this issue before.

I've been looking at this for a while and couldn't suss it out!

It would be useful to indicate that some other function is being applied to the layer.

I've thought about this before but not sure how it would work.  It would be necessary for:

A fill gradient

A stroke gradient

Blend options

Transparency

Layer opacity

Opacity using the opacity control in the color panel

Open path

And probably another half dozen instances.  One symbol would be a help, but it could still be a long time to figure out which reason it was there for.  Maybe hovering over the symbol could say which items were applied.  Another symbol next to the fx next to the lock would eat up a lot of the name/type line.  Maybe the fx could be just one of the possible instances in the above symbol.

Or something like items in the fx property list.
