Element overrides can be confusing to some. Both hidden elements and hidden categories will be red while using this tool. Try using the “Reveal Hidden Elements” tool in the view control bar.

The element or it’s category is hidden in the view.

Of course in Revit 2019 we were given the opportunity to temporarily override the template when the view is closed the overrides are removed and the view is once again controlled by the view template. This way the properties controlled by the view template are not editable, without removing the template or modifying the template and making the changes global to all views defined by the template. I recommend defining the view template within the properties of the view. This would make the view properties change but will allow view property modifications.
