LrC Book Module Text disappears

Question

I am noticing that when I delete and place new photo cells on a page layout, any text in an adjacent text cell disappears. It doesn't go to the back and cannot be retrieved.

I finished a book in early December 2022 and did not notice this issue. The new book I began around December 10th has this problem occurring regularly. In fact, approximately 25 pages that included text cells with photo cells were mysteriously wiped out - no text.

I recovered with a previous backup (good reason to backup regularly). Now, I am writing all text in a separate tool and pasting it into LrC text cells. This is cumbersome, but now necessary.

Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

If I understand your question, this might help-

Photo Text that appears in the Cell adjacent to a photo is linked to the Cell and the Photo in the Cell.

Delete the Photo and [Photo Text] deletes with it.

If you want a Cell on a Page with Text that always remains-

[Right-Click] on a blank area of the page and choose- Add Cell > Photo Description-

Then you will have a permanent 'Text' Cell that is not affected by any photo nearby.

And you can Copy & Paste text from anywhere (eg. a Word file)

(Note: If the amount of text (characters or font size) exceeds the boundaries of a 'Photo Description' cell the selected cell will indicate a small red [+] icon on the lower-right corner of the cell.)
