UI Text disappears on editor focus change due to editor DLL
How to reproduce:
1. Open provided example project
2. Open Assets/TestScene.unity
3. Double-click "HUD" game object to bring it into view
4. Notice it displays "Hello World" and select Text
5. Open other program
6. Switch back from that program to Unity and hover with mouse on top of the text
=> Notice the text "Hello World" in the Scene View disappears
7. Select Canvas and Text, then hover again
=> Text will reappear
Similar behavior when minimizing Unity, only then not Text but Canvas should be selected.
Also with different QWERT buttons it is slightly different. When doing step 6 with Q and T it is enough to hover, with WER you need to click on the scene view.

I have the same issue. It is really frustrating. When I create UI elements I often use references and I switch from one window to another, and every time text UI text disappears.

This happens to me and my teammate as often as every 5 minutes. In an 8 hour day, it's miserable. Please bump the fix date! I can't take it anymore ;((
