Anyone else having this issue? How do you get it to stop?

Since I can't link to the video placed on my own server (...which would be a Valid Video URL), I had to put it on YouTube for the whole world to see.

    I was not able to repo your issue either. maybe upgrade to Animate 24 there have been a lot of bugs fixed.

    Unfortunately, I found it is still an issue with Adobe Animate Version - 24.0 Build 305 and it seems to have been present since Adobe Animate 2021 as I demonstrate in the below video where I reproduce the bug in different versions of Adobe Animate. However, the issue is not present in Adobe Animate 2018 which leads me to believe this bug was introduced when the UI changed in 2020.

    Did you follow the same reproduction steps from this video @Nick Gioia ?
    Adobe Animate Bug - Frame Label Text Disappears When Editing - YouTube

    In short, the steps I used to reproduce the bug are:


    1. Create multiple keyframes and add text to the Frame Label Name field in the properties panel. 

     

    2. Create another layer so that you have more frames to copy later for testing purposes. 

     

    3. Select multiple frames across multiple layers and make sure to include at least one frame that has a frame label name assigned to it.

     

    4. Copy the frames and paste them further down the timeline within the same layers using the "Paste and Overwrite frames" command. 

     

    5. Proceed to attempt to edit the frame label name of any frame containing one and the text will disappear.

    I just tried to repro this and couldn't. What version of AnCC are you running? OS X or Win? What kind of AnCC document are you creating?

    v2021.01, Canvas Win10.

    Since I create frame labels in serial DS1A, DS1B, DS1C etc... I copy and paste a frame that contains the label DS1, then add the A, B, C, etc... it beats typing them out for every frame I want labeled; it's quicker. 

    Or, so I thought. 

    Thanks.

    I tried to repro using a Canvas doc and couldn't - but I'm on Mac at the moment - I can test on Win but not for a couple days. One suggestion; Type out your frame label in the first blank keyframe in a new layer dedicated to frame labels only, hold down option and drag this keyframe to a new frame. It should duplicate the frame label - now try and edit the label name.
