Question

Why is my font dropdown blinking in RH 11?

The Style, Font and Font Size dropdowns in the upper left of the RH11 window (above the project manager panel) begin blinking back and forth, in time with the cursor, as soon as more than one Design/HTML tab is opened.  Attempting to drop one of those menus to change the selection results in the scroller constantly jumping back to the currently selected option if I try to scroll and usually ends up causing RH to crash.

I am on Windows 7 64bit.

The project I'm currently experiencing this problem in was originally created in RH9.  I converted it to RH11.  When I first converted and opened this project yesterday, I did not experience this problem, this just started happening when I opened it this morning.  I did not notice any Windows updates in that time.

Well, for some stupid reason... the blinking font and style menu selector is back.  Just started happening for some reason I cannot explain.

I've still got the "main.css" selected in the project settings... and I haven't made any changes to it... so I just don't get it.

This is really becoming an issue as I cannot work on the project in many places because the blinking menus interfere with my ability to select styles for new content that I'm adding.  If someone from Adobe could possibly look into and address what is causing this, that'd be super.

You’ll have to contact Adobe Support if you want someone from there to have a look at it

Stubborn Puppet,

I'm having the same issue - blinking drop-downs, and then RH 11 crashes. I can't edit any styles or fonts. I too converted my project from RH 9 to RH11.

Were you able to resolve this issue?

I "think" so.  For now at least.

It turned out that my Project Settings were pointing the CSS for Style Mapping to "fmstyles.css".  I had made edits to my "main.css" file to include the fonts that the original project in RH9 was created using, so I pointed my projects CSS for Style Mapping (go to File ->Project Settings) to the "main.css" and saved and it is fine so far.

I assume that editing the fmstyles.css file to include those fonts would have also worked... but I'm not very good with CSS, so I didn't want to have to edit another if I didn't have to.

So, I'd start with finding out which CSS your project is Style Mapped to and add any fonts that were used in the original project to it.

Good luck.

    Also, I just noticed, the word "Repaginating" keeps blinking at the same time at the lower left of the RH11 window.

    Are you importing or linking to content in this project? Where’s it located? Is there any Source Control at play here? Do you have the font installed on the machine where the program resides?

    There are links to 18 PDF's in the project.  Those PDF's are located inside the project files main directory.

    I am not working inside source control (the project was downloaded from a GitHub page and was saved locally on my machine).

    Yes, Helvetica is installed on my PC.

    I've tried every related search to this topic and haven't found an answer.  The only clue I have is that the font for my project is Helvetica... but that does not appear in the RH11 font dropdown menu.  I even tried editing the main css and the rhfonset.apj to include Helvetica... but the menu still doesn't show them as choices and still blinks back and forth between the style menu and the font size menu, in time with the cursor blink.

    I'm in pretty dire straights to get this project updated soon and starting over to recreate hundreds of pages is not an option.

    Please, somebody help.
