Track markers are suddenly invisible and unable to be extended.

I was working on a scenario last night for the Cajon Pass Modernized workshop route and discovered that the various track markers (platform, siding, and destination markers) have suddenly become invisible (except for the "posts" on each end that you can grab), and that while they can still be grabbed with the mouse cursor, that the end posts will just snap back to their default position as soon as you let go of the mouse. I initially though that it might have just been an issue with the scenario (I had started work on it back before the game was rebranded as "Train Sim Classic"), but only a few minutes ago, I tried again on a brand-new route I created just for the purpose. The same problem happened there. While they still seem to be fully functional, being unable to adjust the length of platforms and sidings won't be very conducive to future route-building endeavors.

I forget which option exactly it is, but in the route editor top left panel there should be an icon that looks like a computer monitor; clicking this will give you a panel on the right with a bunch of checkboxes to toggle visibility of each type of track marker (platform, siding, destination, etc.). There's a few other options there for turning off things like sound domes as well, should you wish to either show or hide them. Re-enabling marker visibility should allow you to move the endpoints again.

I'm not sure why this happens, but it seems to be randomly occuring issue.

To correct this, in the editor click on the 'Object Tools' icon, then the 'Display' icon. The display flyout menu will open on the top right side of your screen. Ensure all of the 'marker' related checkboxes are checked. (see image below) That will fix this.
