Disappearing Leaders

I am using draft sight on an iMac i5 2.5 GHz. I am using a lot of leaders and at first, in one particular layer, the leader text would not show. This would happen after changing layers or opening up the file. If I turn off all the layers except this one and select all and copy, they will paste with the text. So the text is still there but it then disappears, even if I change the layer. Now however even in a new layer a new leader's text disappears! I did import layers into this drawing from a dwg file drawn in Auto-cad.

Is this just a settings problem, a glitch or am I missing something basic?
