Hi, thanks for the report. I'm not able to repro this with primitive meshes.
Can you upload your .blend?

Hi, thanks for the file. Which object you're talking about? the one named as Phil?
Do you mean that object frequently appears and then disappears? I'm did not notice such behavior in your file.
Any particular frame you know at which you've encountered the problem?

Still not able to replicable. Could you check with factory settings just to be sure?: {nav File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings}

Loaded factory settings.. then tried with this file.. frame 264, the boolean object pops up, even though it is hidden and "not visible from camera"

thx.

I can repro the boolean failing with both Fast and Exact methods by default.
However, I can get it to do the correct thing if I enable Self Intersection on the Exact Solver like in this (simplified) file:
T99320_repro.blend

Booleans are generally a pretty though thing to get right in all scenarios (will likely not be considered a bug), but having this option available at least solves the issue for me.
(note this is of course quite a bit slower).

@Marc-Poirier : does this work for you?
