Question

Black Box appearing over my text, getting bigger as I type

Hello,

 

I am using |nDesign for my Final Major Project of my Masters. As I am typing out something, a black box seems to appear over my text, as I type more, the box appears to get bigger and bigger.

 

I have seen elsewhere that removing underlines from text helps resolve this, but after having done this nothing seems to have changed.

 

I have attached images for reference.

 

Any help would be appreciated as I am quite the ammateur with this software.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing version of the OS & InDesign? Does it happen with a specific document? Have you tried changing the font as suggested by Anna? This information would help us assist you accordingly.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Looks like some font trouble. Did you try to use another font/size?

What font do you use? It is a variable font?
