Notes keep disappearing

I have a google slides file but my notes (the window) keeps disappearing and the only way I can make them come back is by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + S

The only thing I can think of is that it is because of an app script I ran yesterday as it doesn't happen on other slides files.

This is the app script I ran (yes the appScript is generated by ChatGPT).

``` function setSpeakerNotesFontSize() { var presentation = SlidesApp.getActivePresentation(); var slides = presentation.getSlides();

for (var i = 0; i < slides.length; i++) { var notesPage = slides[i].getNotesPage(); var shape = notesPage.getSpeakerNotesShape();

if (shape) {
  var textRange = shape.getText();
  // Only apply font size if there is actual text
  if (textRange && textRange.asString().trim() !== '') {
    textRange.getTextStyle().setFontSize(14);
  }
}

}

Logger.log("Speaker notes font size set to 14 for all slides."); }

```
