You need to attach the score. There's something strange going on and I can't duplicate this.

This can happen if you have an improperly built/installed version of MuseScore, in which the chord description files are missing. If this is a version you built yourself, you must not skip the install step, and you need to run the installed copy, not the copy in your build folder.

If this is with an officially released version of MuseScore, please tell us which version and what OS.

I see the A, and also if I add another Am7 the A doesn't vanish

Same version of MuseScore and OS

Try reverting to factory settings (under the Help menu)
