paperspace text over viewport disappears?

[cadman33619]

Can someone explain why the text and leaders placed over viewports (in paperspace) keeps disappearing? The text is still there...just not visible. i can select the text with no problem. and if i move it off of the viewport then i can see it just fine. this is happening with all the viewports in my drawings... on all tabs.  If i close the drawing and reopen then all the text appears again.....but when i switch tabs then come back...the text vanishes again. 

thanks

Not sure exactly, and you didn't indicate what version you're using.  Try the attached Draw Order by Layer routine.  Just remove the .txt extension.

Here's a link to a different routine that does the same thing, though I haven't used it.
