Whenever I attempt to input expressions, I cannot actually see what I am typing. The box opens but doesn't moove and nothing appears. When i click out of the textbox whatever I typed is visible. If i click back in to edit further, all text is again invisible. Possibly related is when i click in the textbox it fills up my entire timeline area and the blinking cursor looks like i am typing in size 400 font, but again everything looks normal when i click out

    I have this exact same problem. I've tried everything, even reinstalling the program without migrating my settings and doing a factory fresh install. Nothing makes any difference. If you ever figured out a solution to this problem please update this thread with it. I've been sitting here for almost 2 hours waiting for a specialist to respond to me...
