Cannot See Typed Text

I just installed Version 6.4.3. When I double click to edit text, the text I type does not appear until I hit return. I am not able to see my text to make edits, and I am forced to delete the text box and start again.

Try going to the Options panel and see if the Text Size slider is set to “0” (it tends to remember the last time it was set). If so, just drag the slider to the right and your text should appear larger.

Another issue may be the Text color – if it’s the same color as the background then it won’t appear until you click on the text block to edit it. But when you’re done, it will go back to match the background color and “disappear.”

If those don’t resolve your problem there’s something else that’s probably set incorrectly.

Hope that helps…

Thanks, but sorry, it doesn’t help. My text size is 18; the color is black on a gray background. I don’t know what other things to try.

I’ve got the same problem and sorry but it is not resolved by your suggestions.

Sorry – can’t think of what else it could be. I’m sure the guys at Boinx will either know the answer, or try to get more info from you so they can determine the cause.

@hgfds Please can you provide some background information: Which macOS are your running, what version of FotoMagico and which hardware?

Sonoma 14.4, FotoMagico 6.6.1, MackBook Pro

@hgfds Please can you try to update FotoMagico to the latest version? Either via the Software Update menu item or by manual download from our website.

I have tried that download four times and was never able to make it happen. Finally went back to my original subscription link and got it done. Now at 6.7.6. Let me play around and see if the problem still exists.

So happy to discover that it seems the problem has been fixed in 6.7/6. How nice is that!

Glad the guys at Boinx were able to suggest what you needed to do to get things working as expected.
