wwdileii Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hi, had been doing lots of work on publisher before the 2.2 update, but after updating to 2.2, text is not appearing when I create a text box? The opacity is set to 100% in both color and text layer. Have attached a file to show this if anyone can help! Thanks so much in advance :). test.afpub GryphonArt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hi @wwdileii and welcome to the forums. I can see the word Hello when I open your document so the problem is with your display and not with text in text frames. Could you share a screenshot of your performance settings? On Windows choose Edit > Preferences. On macOS, choose Affinity Publisher 2 > Settings. Click Performance in the left pane. If you have hardware acceleration enabled try turning that off and seeing if that makes a difference.

wwdileii Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Hi MikeTO! Thanks so much for that, I went there and disabled OpenCL acceleration and it worked! Thanks for that tip, saved a lot of head banging! MikeTO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without more info (e.g., screenshots of the complete application window, screen recordings) we're unlikely to be able to provide more than MikeTO suggested above already.
