Disappearing anchor points - Indesign

[HaleyMacKenzie]

I'm trying to access the handles/direction lines to edit the curve of a cuved path I made with the pen tool in InDesign. However, no handles are visible. When I click to add an anchorpoint to the curved path, handles are briefly visible for the new anchorpoint but quickly disappear, never to return. Please help?

I recorded a video of what's happening:

1. Change the Layer colour to a different, better visible colour.
2. Click with the diect selection tool somewhere where no object is and select again.

You might come out of Preview Mode and work in Normal Mode. Preview Mode hides all things that do not print.
