Title text disappears when title moved in timeline

Title text disappears when title moved in timelineI have about a 15 minute video project to which I've added about 3 dozen 5 second titles. These are done like subtitles (near the bottom of the screen), with the titles overlaid on a 50% opacity gray rectangle to make them more visible against the video. Thus, I have the video on track 1, the gray rectangle on track 2, and the title on track 3. After I created all of these titles I wanted to reposition some of them to slightly different points on the timeline. I lassoed the title and its corresponding gray rectangular underlay, and dragged them together to the new location. However, after these two elements are moved, the title text no longer appears. The title and its rectangle show up on the timeline, but no text on the video. If I double-click on the title as if to edit it, nothing happens. It's as if the title doesn't exist to the program. If I undo the move operation the title works normally. This happens with any title that I attempt to move. Anyone ever experience anything like this? Any solutions? I don't want to have to recreate these if I can help it.

Re: Title text disappears when title moved in timelineWhy not create the text and the rectangle as a single title? You don't need to have these elements as two separate clips. It will certainly make them much easier to manipulate and move around.
I don't know why repositioning the text and the rectangle is making the title disappear. But try creating a title with them graphic and text on the same title clip and see if that resolves your issue. HP Envy with 2.9/4.4 ghz i7-10700 and 16 gig of RAM running Windows 11 Pro
Re: Title text disappears when title moved in timelineThanks for the reply Steve. After my original post things just got weirder. Now when I try to create a new title I don't get the Add Text box. I just get a blank title screen with no title editing area. Clicking on the text tool, I can't type into a text box. I think the program is corrupted, because I tried starting a new project from scratch and it acts the same. I think I'm going to have to reinstall the program. I tried resetting the preferences and it didn't help. Why did I do this with two separate elements instead of doing everything in the title? I got used to doing it that way a long time ago because I thought at the time that it gave me greater flexibility. Maybe that's not true. However, that shouldn't have caused these kinds of issues.

Re: Title text disappears when title moved in timelineDave Could the lasso effect be causing the layers to somehow be placed out of order? Or could you have inadvertently changed the opacity of the text to 100% ?
Have you tried holding the shift key and selecting the clips then just drag to move them? Lately I have been creating my texts in Photoshop then importing into the project. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." ..... Ferris Bueller

Re: Title text disappears when title moved in timelineReinstalled PrEl 11 this morning. Everything's back to normal and working as it should. It's problems like this that have boggled the great minds of science and made them soft. Thanks for your efforts Steve and Sidd.
