Steps to reproduce

1. Inside admin, go to Stores->Product and click on an attribute that contains visual swatches.

I have the same issue.
Magento 2.2.0
PHP 7.1.0
In front view the swatches shown correctly but in admin panel no.
When you add the new color (by image or picking the color) it shows, but when you save the attribute, it disappear.

I prove to reindex by command but nothing fix.

Similar issue here. This one on top is with php7.1.11. The swatches are saved but not visible.

After changing the php version to 7.0.25 and refresh the page, I have this one below:

Another problem with swatches: I have changed text swatches to color swatches, but on front end in layered nav, I still see them as Visual swatches. I think the problem is related or similar to this issue #3139

I don't have product with option to see what is the status on product pages.

same issue on php 7.1.11

I also have this issue, PHP7.1.9.

Also, the dropdown has a lower z-index than the rest, so if you have not many swatches or choose one at the bottom you cannot see all options.

Just want to confirm the same issue as above with PHP Version 7.1.1 with Magento Verison 2.2.1.

This is an issue with the way PHP7.1 handles strings differently. This issue should not be closed. I have added a PR to fix the issue here: #13093
