Text blinking

Hi there, I just signed up for the free trial version in order to get used to this program. When I write in the text box, the text starts to blink automatically. It is really disturbing not to see the whole text while editing. I've already uninstalled and install it twice but it is still the same...
Thanks a lot for your help!

So, is there even a solution for this? Anyone?
Hi Alba and Nejc,
I was able to "solve" the issue by disabling the modern text feature. Go to the Design tab, click the Fonts drop-down list, and deselect Use Modern Text at the bottom.
It worked for me, not sure it will work for you too, it really depends on what's causing the issue. For me it "might" be the fact that I am using a virtual machine.
Give it a try and hopefully it'll work for you too

Thank you, Rosaria, it bloody works!
Drinks are on me. :)
Happy to help!
And thanks for the drinks ;)
Thank you so much for this! This worked for me as well. I am using Parallels on Mac iOS, and this was the only thing that helped!
Hi. I am a Mac User. New to Articulate and running on trial before purchase , but I am having the same issues. Was there a fix?
Upgrading my OS is not possible for me.

Hi Janessa!
Sorry for the late reply, I only saw your comment now.
I am happy I could help! 💪🏻
Hello Mortilaine! You’re very welcome 😊
It looks like this issue happens especially when Articulate is installed on a virtual machine that is not running on the latest iOS version.
I am glad that this solution is working for other people too.
With the new updates there is no more "Modern text" option and the problem is still there. The text boxes are blinking.
Staff, what can I try to fix this?
Hi Nejc!
Can you try turning on Accessible Text to see if that fixes the text blinking issue?
Seems that latest Parallels version fixed it.
Problem is still here ... latest Storyline, Parallels 17.
What can I do?
Hi Nejc,
