Invisible Sentences

Help. I came across a problem that I need assistance on. I tried to make a reply to Savage Tunnel's post on the Don Phillips thread and when I tried to include a quote, it was not visible. I tried changing the font, the color, and anything else I could think of. I clicked on the tools button which drops down a "source code" line and clicked on that and it showed the text I was trying to insert, but I could not get it to show in the post edit box. I would appreciate clues as to what I need to do. Thanks.

I've had similar experiences, but when I've highlighted the invisible text and set a new color and font I can usually read them.  

I've had it happen even without quoting.  I start to type a reply and nothing I type appears on the screen.

It seems to go in streaks.
