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 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.

It happens to me after copy+pasting a frame with a label also, it's very annoying. On the latest animate + windows 10. Document is an adobe air fla. (desktop / android)

I also confirm that the frame label text disappears when attempting to edit it, but only after copying and pasting multiple frames as I've shown in the below video:

As a workaround, a script could be used to edit label text with a pop-up window, but I believe most users would prefer not to use such a workaround, and not to retype any lost text.

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 @Nicktendo28 ?
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.

Thank you for trying it out @kglad !
It seems you have to make a frame selection that spans more than one layer in order for the bug to occur. I can't replicate the bug when I copy and paste a range of frames from only one layer. So I'll edit my reproduction steps to include that detail. Thank you for pointing that out.

i don't see that problem, either.
create two layers with frame labels
create two more layers
copied the all frames from the labelled frames
used paste and overwrite after selecting a frame in both empty layers
changed one of the labels in one of the pasted frames

Thank you for your continued effort @kglad This is helping to narrow down the issue even more so.
I've discovered from your attempt that the pasted frames must be pasted to somewhere within the same layers that they were copied from in order for the bug to occur.
Should you not have the bug occur even if you follow the same minimal steps I've shown in the below brief minimal reproduction steps video then it's very likely this bug is not reproducible and is an isolated issue.

Thanks for confirming that @kglad. It seems to be an obscure isolated issue that very few people deal with for whatever reason.
If I ever come up with a convenient scripted workaround for this problem I will certainly share it here for anyone else who encounters this bug as regularly as I do.

ok.
