Can't see type as I type it in PSE 2025

[stacia_7721]

PSE does not replace existing type after I type it until/unless I click the check box. This is super annoying, as I can't see what I'm typing as I type it. I never had this issue in PSE 11. I see that other users have had this problem in other versions of PSE but there doesn't seem to be a solution in those threads. And yes, I have tried all the usual fixes:

- I've set the font size correctly (small enough for the text box).

- I'm using a dark font on a light background. The text shows up fine AFTER I click the check box.

- I've tried both with and without the "use graphics card" performance option in Preferences. Doesn't make a difference.

Is there an actual fix for this problem that just hasn't been added to the earlier threads? I sure hope so!

Have you tried a work around like paragraph text.  For example select the T tool and drag out a rectangle where you want the text. Type within the rectangle area and the blue check mark stays outside of the rectangle without obscuring the text.

Thanks for the reply! This miraculously "just started working" with no change to what I was doing. No idea what fixed it. PSE 2025 does mysterious things. PSE 11 was a lot more predictable. 😮
