Data Model Tab Disappeared Suddenly

[jaynestrickland]

I had two different workbooks each with a second Data Model tab created. I opened the workbooks and suddenly those tabs were just blank. The tab name was there, but the visual was just like it was a fresh tab asking to add tables and build from scratch. Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm wondering if the visuals were really there but perhaps I was encountering a memory issue and the visual was just not populating?  At any rate, I just deleted the tab and recreated on the main first data model tab.  

Then today, I opened up the same workbook and suddenly the main tab had reverted to the original jumbled view (before I organized it and modeled it). I closed the workbook, reorpened and then it was back to normal.  

I feel like I'm being gaslighted, anyone else experience this?  Also I'm using a Mac with Parallels windows environment.

Also Part 2 - when I'm viewing the Data Model tab, the relationship lines are not reflecting the actual relationship direction. They don't update visually after I make the model changes.  A memory issue??
