Code blocks disappearing and only reappearing when a new block is added

Hello, I added some code block objects to my document yesterday to find that they had disappeared today when I opened the chart again. As I understand, the documents auto save so I believe this is a bug. It’s a bit annoying as now I have to make a bunch of code blocks again. Anyone else experience this? How do I avoid this happening again? Should I just not use the blocks? Thanks.

Ok, update: I went on to make code blocks again and as soon as I pressed the button, all of my previous blocks “re-spawned” so I guess it’s fine now? Still a bug? Before this, I couldn’t even select the old blocks so it’s not like they were just hidden. Maybe this is intended. Let me know!

Hi ​@barry_charting_07,

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community and for providing an update here!

The behavior you are seeing is definitely unexpected. Would you mind attempting the following steps below so our team can rule out a few key performance issues and narrow down the root cause of the issue you’re experiencing?

  • Could you try opening your document in a private or incognito window to help us narrow down the potential cause? Sometimes account performance issues can be related to internet security/speed or browser issues. For help with opening an incognito window, please see this community post
  • Could you try clearing your browser cache? Sometimes a cache issue can cause specific script heavy objects (like code blocks) to fail.
  • It is possible that WebGL is causing an issue with your graphics card. Try turning WebGL off by going to View > Rendering > Use WebGL and unchecking the option.
  • If you are on a Team or Enterprise account, you can also check the Revision history to restore a version from when the blocks were visible.

Let me know if you run into any issues or have any other questions. I’m happy to help!

Hello,

I’ve tried all these options and none have worked. I opened up my document this morning and ALL of my code blocks have been removed and I’m incapable of getting them back. They were not especially big either — 5-6 lines of code on average. This is a real shame for me as I have to make all of them over again or just not use the code block feature entirely. And yes, I’ve also tried on different browsers.
