Hi Bob,
I had the same experience with a particularly long block of text -- I could get the behavior to stop if I took away enough of the text, but removing any of the content permanently wasn't really an option. So, my guess is that it has something to do with length of text.
But, you can use the audio editor (click the speaker icon on your slide, go to Audio Tools on the top-bar when it appears) and manually edit out the last couple of seconds where the "dot" appears.
I had the same problem. Using the sound editing tool is a finicky, and fine art, but it worked. Thanks for the advice. I used word.docx to edit, copy and paste the text to AS 360. I'll check the outline view for any hidden code, but this is a good solution until the bug is addressed. Thank you
