      and is there anything that can be done about it?

      Think I remember reading elsewhere that the problem is white on white text, but even when an item is highlighted it still doesn't show. This is happening to several objects that aren't locked (red icon, not visible text) at any level.

      I can see what is selected through the entity info box, but if I can't read it directly in the inspector it makes it almost useless for quickly identifying and organizing the model.

      Other objects that I can select in the model don't show up at all in the inspector.

      Is this the deliberate behaviour, (and if so what genius thought it was a good idea!) - or a bug that will be fixed?
      ... or am I missing something that will resolve the issue?

        OK, I think I've figured out what was happening:

        I reset the workspace, and it returned to normal - briefly!
        It seems there must have been a space in the search box (which I didn't see, of course)
        which selected only the objects that had a space in the name.

        Still, what is the logic behind white on white text (if that's what it is) or disappearing the text of objects that are within the search criteria?
        This is extremely bizarre and unhelpful behaviour. If anyone understands the rationale behind this, I'd love to hear it.
