Text keeps dissapearing

[SaiVijay1]

Whenever I try to type something into the text box in Canvas, it always just ends up just showing it for a second, hiding it, and not showing up. I know the words came up, too, since it updates the word count, but nothing shows up. Also, under the text box, it just says "p". But, on my other computer, all my text shows up, which is weird. How to fix this?

Hi @SaiVijay1,

I'd recommend making sure both your browser and operating system are up to date, and you're not running any content/ad blockers which might interfere with Canvas.  If you have another browser you could try on that device, that will certainly help narrow the problem down as well.

Let us know if this helps at all!

Hi @SaiVijay1 ,

Have you tried selecting all the text in the text box? Are you able to see the text when in the "select" mode? Have you checked to make sure your text isn't set to the color white (or whatever your background color is)? Your other computer may have a different color scheme somehow.
