Noisy text problem in Designer

[chriscaldwell]

Hello,

I have updated to 1.8, and notice a strange issue with Designer. It's probably not even related to the update....but, the text in the large letter A in the attached image appears very grainy or noisy, yet no filter or style is applied. It's supposed to be solid white color. Even the little color box at the top displays a noisy/grainy white. I'm viewing this on a Mac 15 inch retina. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix this?

Thank you so much,

Chris

Try clicking on the “Opacity” label – the text, not the slider – in any colour panel.
You should get a “Noise” slider which you should be able to alter.

Hi Garry,

Fixed! Thank you so much. I didn't even know that you could that!

You’re welcome.
Yeah, it’s pretty well hidden and you wouldn’t know about it unless you happen to read a specific part of the documentation, or are told about it.

@chriscaldwell  Also, if you click on the little dot beside the slider in the color panel (white in your example) it changes from Opacity to Noise.   Then you can move the Noise slider all the way to the left to delete the noise.  Two different ways to slay the dragon!
