Components disappear in Development

I hope I word this right. Upto a few weeks ago, I didn't have any issues. What I am experiencing is after I build and save and app, I will open up the app to edit it through the PowerApps portal. However, many of the components (meaning my custom components, and other compenents like an icon, drop-down, gallery...) will not show up correctly.

What I mean is that the visibility property will be set under the following condition:

  If(varShowSpinner="Yes", true, false)

Other times the component's visibility property is set to true, but the component does not show up. I have found if I go into the visibility property, or some other property field, and delete the last character, replace it, and then hit enter, the component will start working correctly.

However, when I use the app in 'production', then everything will work. Just makes it hard to build the app if I cannot test along the process. That is the greatest feature with Powerapps.

Is this an issue others are having? Did I change something in the settings maybe? 

Any ideas what could be causing this or how I can fix it?

It makes it really hard to go back to a saved app if I have to 'reset' many of the components properties to get them working in the dev environment again.
