Hi, Miss B. That seems like a strange issue, but there could be several factors at work here, any one of which can cause what you are experiencing. Let's start with the most basic. With your object selected, go to your Objects display panel tab, at the right of the viewport, next to the World display tab. Scroll down to the Display dropdown and make sure you don't have X-Ray or Transparency options ticked on there.
