XREF text showing as frames

When I xref one specific drawing (A.dwg) into another specific drawing (B.dwg) all of the text from the xref drawing (A.dwg) only displays as frames. But if I xref the same drawing (A.dwg) into a different drawing (C.dwg) then all of the text from the xref drawing (A.dwg) displays as text as expected. 

Detaching and reloading the xref does not help. In the problem dwg it doesn't matter if I xref it as an attachment or an overlay. I've run an audit on all the dwgs. The scale of all the drawings are all the same. The drawing units of all the drawings are all the same.

Has anyone seen this behavior and know how to get the xref text to show? (I can not share drawings.)

It looks like the sysvar QTEXT is on.  Have you tried turning it off?

@Anonymous: TFRAMES were off, toggling them on and off again and REGEN( and REGENALL) did nothing

 

@msisler: QTEXT was on, toggling it off and REGENALL fixed it! Thanks.
