This might be too simple of a question but I'll ask it in case this is a new SP Online instance and your first time hitting this issue... But did you check the SharePoint settings out in Office 365 to ensure Custom Scripting is enabled? It's a dumb question but I've had "memory lapses" where this was the simple answer to other similar painful problems. If it is disabled, enable it and it will take up to 24 hours to take effect.

I tried it again this afternoon and had a moment of hope. I was able to navigate away from the page then back again and it was still there. Unfortunately, when I tried to open it in another tab the part disappeared again. Refreshing the page causes it to disappear as well so it may have just been showing due to browser caching.

    What kind of web part is it?  A content editor web part with code directly in it or something else?

      I'm afraid that I don't quite understand your question. This is the first web part I've built and I don't recall there being any other type information beyond "WebPart" when I set it up.

       

      It inserts a div with a single line of text and some basic CSS styling and has three components that can be toggled on and off; one JavaScript and two CSS styles.
