title: How to fix problem with text not showing in Preview mode for SSRS 2019 using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019?
body: <p>I just got the latest versions today for working with SSRS: SSRS 2019, Visual Studio Community 2019 (Version 4.8.03752) with SSRS Templates (Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers Version 15.0.1659.0).</p>
  
  <p>I have a textbox with the report title which doesn't show in preview (both in header or body) and a textbox in footer with page counts that doesn't show. In the body I have a Table with a few columns that don't show values but do show the table cells. I noticed that values did show for returned records on first try but not for column headers; however, when I resized one cell, no values were shown at all for anything.  Now, no text values show at all in Preview mode.</p>
  
  <p>When I export report to PDF, everything shows (title, body, footer). This also works when I published to the Portal.</p>
  
  <p>Here is what I tried without success:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Changed the font color to all texts to red but text values still don't show.</li>
  <li>Deleted the report data files (.data) but text values still don't show.</li>
  <li>Open the report file (.rdl) with Report Builder but text values still don't show.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So, it is in the editors (VS and Report Builder) that the problem only exists as rendering (PDF, Word) works and running in Report Portal works.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
