I have been developing a canvas app. When I tried to work on it today, the app doesn't display any controls that I have created and only shows the grey background. There are multiple pages in the app and they all look like this. I can still select and edit the controls but just can't see them. I have changed the visiblity setting and background colours but didn't fix the issue. There is no errors and the moinotor session doesn't return any errors. Could someone please help me with this?
@taijiwang
dont worry about this not an issue from your side. something weird going on from microsoft side. it happened for me on multiple occasions all screens display like that in edit mode . but if i open in normal play mode everything works as per requirement.
wait for some time clear cache open in edit mode again that should do
Hi @taijiwang
This is a current bug that's related to the latest release of Power Apps. I would hope that it will be fixed soon.
In the meantime, you can try to work around this problem by selecting an earlier authoring version or by removing modern controls/themes. There are more details here:

I am not sure this is happening because of modern control. in my app i dont have modern control or theme still i got the issue and also it went away when i cleared cache and reopened in edit mode
Thanks @developerAJ - that's very useful to know.
@timl and @developerAJ , Thanks for your input. I have found the solution. It was caused by the new "Template" function. The trick is to comment out PowerAppsTheme property under App and reload the app. Clear the cache didn't work for me.
Nothing was working for me. I tried disabling the modern template feature, clearing cache, etc. Then I tried "duplicate screen" and found that the new screen works... definitely buggy behavior. Hopefully MS will get this resolved soon.
