Layer disappears from Timeline window, but the video is still visible in the Composition window.

Layers randomly disappear from the Timeline window, but the video is still viewable and playable in the Composition window. I need to shut down the Timeline, then reopen it, and the layer reappears. This happens almost daily. I'm on a Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.2 and AE version 25.1.0

ChatGPT responded: You're not alone—this issue has been reported by other After Effects users, though it's not extremely common. The problem seems to be a UI glitch where layers remain in the composition but disappear from the timeline panel.

You're not accidentally hitting the "Shy Layers" button by any chance?

I've done that before; enough times that I check that right away. Lol  ChatGPT had numerous suggestions, including that one, which was towards the top.
