Applying a style to text makes all the text disappear from the box

[KD Did It]

Using InDesign 17.2.1 on a Mac OS Monterey.

I applied an often-used text style to selected text. It caused all the text to disappear. The text did not reappear until I hit CMD+Z. I really do NOT want to have to apply all the options to recreate the style on individual blocks of text.

Check if there is not a “no break” attribute in your paragraph style.

[James Gifford—NitroPress]

This, or any setting that makes the text and paragraph 'too large' for the box. A large left or top margin, for example. Start by dragging the box out much larger (down and right) to see if the tagged text reappears.
