Does the shape disappear every time you select it, or does it only happen in that particular file?

​@Impressive_Light3285 It only happens in that particular file, so I’m wondering if something in the document is causing it.

Have you tried undoing the selection and checking whether the shape is inside a mask or hidden layer? That might explain why it disappears when selected.
