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...

Hello everyone, 

After updating to the latest Storyline360 version, I too have the same annoying problem of blinking text when trying to edit it. It really makes it impossible to edit text this way.

I have a MacBook Pro with MacOS High Sierra, a Windows 10 Enterprise machine with Parallel Desktop 16 for Mac Pro Edition. Updating to Catalina is absolutely NOT an option for me as I have some 32-bit apps (for example Adobe InDesign CS6) that won't run in the new operating system. Updating to Mojave "could" be possible if that's the only solution (32-bit app still "work" in Mojave) but I'd rather not do that either, as apparently 32-bit apps functionalities could be reduced or they could crash a lot. 

Any fixes for me ? 

Thanks in advance!

But Articulate is also a 32-bit program, right? Or does that not really count because it’s running through Parallels or whatnot? Sorry, I can’t help. The Catalina upgrade was a godsend. Articulate REALLY needs to make a Mac version.

Good luck,
Katie

    Hi Katie, it doesn't really matter whether Articulate is a 32-bit program or 64 because I have it installed on Windows and I access the virtual machine via Parallel. But if I need to update to Catalina on the Mac part of my laptop in order to fix the blinking text issue, than I have a huge problem because I'll loose the 32-bit programs that runs on my Mac partition. I agree with you, there should be a Mac version for Articulate or, at least, the good functioning of Storyline should not be dependant of what Mac operative system you have on your computer in case you use a virtual machine!
