Why is my text disappearing when I make any changes to text layer?

[design4]

I've been using photoshop for years and haven't ever had an issue like this one. If I try to edit any text in my text layer (text size, leading, font, etc.) as soon as I hit "enter" the changes are applied to the text and then about a second later, all of the text that was selected deletes. I've already tried resetting the type tool as well as resetting my photoshop preferences. Any help about how to fix this would be much appreciated.

Try a different font.

Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

I have the same problem, which began 2-weeks ago.
But it happens with all my typefaces and fonts, or if I try to kern, or change colors.

Any tips on how to "Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site."?

Thank you,
Martha

Out of the blue... my Mac started doing this today.  Googling the "Disappearing Text" phenomena show its a very frequent problem, but the solutions are oftentimes font specific or confusing at best.  So I'm running CS6 v.13.0.x64 on a 2-month old Mac 27" with 40 Gigs of memory, running Mojave v10.14.5. Here's what's happening:

I'm designing a business card using a graphic logo I developed for a friend. Started laying out the card, dragged over the logo, centered it, then tried to add his name.  Worked OK I thought, but when I went to add a phone number on the opposite side of the card I started typing and the number started appearing but it was the wrong font for a phone number, so I backspaced, changed the font, and started typing... nothing appears?  The cursor indicated that it was moving with each letter, but it was blank.  Even tried duplicating the name, and moving it, then editing to change the name to numbers... the text all disappeared in the duplicate layer.  So after trying a restart, a reset, I also tried a "New" graphic.  Made a 5" X 5" square, used color fill to change its color, then added a text line and it showed up... so I backspaced and all text on that layer comes up as transparent.

What I can't figure is that I'm using fonts I used before with no issues, everything was fine, in fact, the fonts I used yesterday was where I started and now it seems like regardless of which font I use, they go transparent the minute I try to edit in any way.  I've used PS for years, never had a problem like this.

Hi,

This might come a few years late, but I found a solution different than what's suggested in here.

The problem for me seemed to be that I was using a "sample" font from Adobe fonts. So I went into Adobe fonts, deactivated and activated the font once again, restarted Photoshop, and that seemed to solve the problem.

Hope this helped!
