oschrenk Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 All new text, artistic text, or text frames all have a brown/red background when I create them. The background color is set to transparent. While I can set them to a different color, I can not set them to transparent. Is it some setting I overlook?

oschrenk Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 It also applies when I transform shapes into text boxes via artistic text, they have a fill color of red/brown. Even worse, I can't set it to a white background (as a workaround) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemax Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I think for most users this doesn't happen. It looks like a glitch of some kind. If hardware acceleration is enabled, turn it off and check it out.

oschrenk Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 It is also displayed when Hardware acceleration is turned off, and is also being printed, so it's not only a display glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oschrenk Posted September 10, 2021 Author Share Posted September 10, 2021 Thank you. The second link was just saying that it's about setting the background color - which is set to transparent in my case (see screenshots). The first link was helpful. It seems to be a common issue with the iPad version of the app. > We've found this can happen if you've pasted text off the web it can inherit the background colour which is then unchangable inside the app. This can then becomes the text tool's default for that file if you Synchronize Defaults from Object meaning any new text will also get this colour. I guess that somehow also happened with me but the UI was not telling me or was somehow assuming transparent = red What helped was Edit > Defaults > Factory reset This seems a bug to me, and the factory reset like a workaround. I'm happy that I can continue working on my design again. telemax, mikeswarts and NotMyFault 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeswarts Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I also experienced this issue. When I created new text frames, they had red backgrounds for no obvious reason. It happened suddenly and I don’t know why. Glad I found this thread. The solution, as posted by oschrenk, is to select the text frame and Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset.
