[Pro] Typing in HTML Boxes not showing up?

Freeway
1

Recently, I’ve noticed that when I’m typing text in an HTML box that nothing is happening. However, when I click out of the box everything I typed is there. Sometimes, after a few of these weird episodes Freeway Pro will crash altogether.

Is this an issue with Freeway Pro or Mac OS X 10.7.4?

Are you using the latest version of FW? - 5.6.4

Check to see if any of your fonts report an error. In Freeway, Edit / Fonts and click the [Errors…] button.

Yes, 5.6.4 (6412).

I asked because your FWT tag says 5.5.6

Check to see if any of your fonts report an error

Fonts are a favourite culprit.

I don’t think you have to worry about internal fonts. Are there any other errors reported?

No, none that I can see.

BTW, why would that message even show up. As I recall, none of those fonts are being used in my FWP document.

This could be my crappy Logitech wireless keyboard. My old one broke, which I loved, so they sent me a replacement, but it’s not Mac compatible. According to my Logitech CSR, they are out of the Mac business again, except for a few solar-powered keyboards. :frowning:

Nope, not the keyboard. I just swapped out the Logitech with a new Apple wired keyboard I have and I’m having the same problem. Any other ideas?

See if this works: type the text into the box, then scroll the Freeway design window until the text box is hidden off screen, then scroll back. If you then see the text, I think what you are seeing is a fairly common screen-painting bug. It’s worse in boxes that have overflowed content or that are set to no height.

Yep, that’s the problem. I never recall this happening until I changed over to inline layouts with no height boxes.

It’s really a pain though.

I have a similar problem with FWP not rendering type, except I can clear it
up by republishing (command-p).

Sometimes styles and such don’t render in Layout mode until I hit cmnd-p
again.

It’s the little things like this that make coding by hand more tolerable.
