Same problem showed up with AC24 now (stairs not apperain on layout despite correct view/layer settings). Unforunately none of the above mentioned solutions work, including changing renovation status of the stairs.
Any suggestions how to fix it? For now, my only solution is to redraw the stairs with lines and hatches to appear on the layout....
Any feedback appriciated.

Thank you very much for the report and I am very sorry about the experience!
If the above suggestions don't help, I'm wondering if it's possible for you to share with me the file for further investigation? Please let me know if you need a secure place to upload the file also!

Just want to give you a quick update: fortunately, the workaround also worked in Rahim's case. Unfortunately, we still don't know how the stairs got into this corrupted state yet, so the case still remains open. Please let me know if you happen to find out how to create the corrupted stair!

I'm having the same problem with the stair steps not showing on the layout, the stringers are still visible though. In my case it is related to spiral stairs, straight stairs are fully visible. It's not related to the view settings (I right click the faulty view on the layout and select "open source view" and the stairs are fully visible then)
I have tried everything, changing the renovation status of the stairs in different orders (change status to demolish-change status back to existing-update view on layout / change status-update view on layout-change status back-update view on layout / change status from existing to new-update view / etc).
I've tried to reset the renovation status of everything in the model. I've tried to use the pipette to redraw the buggy stair as a straight stair to no effect. I've checked some stair copies that I had saved in the dummy layer that I havent edited since the stair type last was functioning properly but those also are missing their steps.
I'm using AC23 v5005 SWE FULL
Any thoughts or more specific instructions to apply the workaround?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
I've tried changing the finish type from Step (built in) to Step 23, which I use in my straight stairs but that didn't change its representation on the layout view. I tried to change the structure from stringers (which are visible) to monolithic but then the entire stair disappears in the layout.
Edit2:
It's only the stringers that remain visible, the walking line is missing as well. I'm not sure about the numberings as they should not be visible as per the MVO.

Then select each component and check the renovation status.
You may need to do the 'change it to something else and then change it back' trick if it is already set tot he correct reno filter.
It is possible to have the entire stair as 'Exiting' but the individual treads can be 'New'.

I´ve tried creating a new layout and placing a new view on it, but the result remains faulty.

That actually solved the problem! Thank you very much!
I actually noticed that the renovation filter options were strange when looking at the individual components while in "edit stair mode" previously. They were not on the
