Camera disappearing from viewport..sort of

[Thomas Luther]

Ahoy,

Three times in the last two days the camera object has disappeared from the viewport. In two cases I haven’t even touched it. In one instance is reappeared after some random fiddling with location in the outliner. 

It still shows in the outliner so it’s not actually gone.
I can still manipulate it through the outliner and use the camera view
Seems like there just is not visual representation in the viewport, which is a bit aggravating.

Closing and reopening the blend file seems to fix it.
This feels like a bug but I don’t know if there are any other settings I could be checking.

Curious if anyone else has run into this.

Hi Thomas,

My motto is: “It is not a bug!”

Most likely, you switched to Local View (shortcut key:  /):

Also check that the camera is turned on for the visibility:

Gotcha! I was able to recreate the local cam view so likely this was it. Prolly mashing the keyboard with my unruly meaty fingers…..

Thanks much Martin and Omar!
