The command to input chords, Command+K, causes a chord shape to be inputted, but is invisible until you click out of the text box
Comments
I've seen this from time to time, but can't make it always happen, can you? If so, explain how and also attach the file where this happens.
Are you on page 2 or later? If so, see #278972: Chord Symbols not mapping from score to parts consistently.
In reply to Are you on page 2 or later? … by Marc Sabatella
@Marc, I think your link is a different issue. What I've seen is that you press ctrl+K to enter a chord and a dotted blue square appears around where the chord will be shown, but is empty. The chord eventually shows, but I don't know what triggers it. Leaving Chord input mode? switching page view? I really don't remember. I probably should have stopped as soon as I saw it, but I was working on something else at the time.
The issue I linked actually described two different problems, and one of them may be exactly is exactly this issue. If you are on page 2 or later, zoom out so you can see pages 1 also while typing your chord symbol and you will see the chord you are typing actually appearing on page 1. It then appears where it belongs when you leave edit mode. The title of the issue is more about the other problem - chords not actually appearing in the parts. Most likely two different problems which is why I'm leaving this open rather than closing it as a duplicate.
I'm going to just call this a new issue, perfectly reproducible for pages >1..
