I'm on ArcGIS Pro 2.9.1 (recently updated too) trying to add new polygons to a shapefile and once I draw the shape and click the checkmark or double click to confirm the shape once I go to draw the next feature it disappears. No error appears. The Create Feature window claims it had been successfully made but then the area acts like I selected the area and the symbology disappears. photos for example attached.

Ah, that kind of makes sense. Selection layers get kind of wonky after awhile. In my professional use, I only use selection layers for a short time then quit on them since they do not stay in tact. It's best to only work with the original layer, then make a new selection layer if needed. Treat selection layers as snapshots in time and only use for a short time - never edit them or add/delete features from them - it only muddies things up!
