text disappeared after typing the letter ff

[vincent_6542]

I was attempting to type the word "different" in a text box, but as soon as I typed the second "f," the entire text vanished from the box. Even just typing "ff" caused the text to disappear, although it was still visible in the essential graphic.  Please advise and thanks

Hi @vincent_6542,

Thanks for the report. The team needs more information. See, How do I write a bug report?

Please try updating the software to see if you can be clear of this issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

@vincent_6542,

ff is an example of a ligature. See my post here:

The methods remain the same except the general preference is now:

Edit -> Preferences -> Graphics -> Text -> Ligatures checkbox.

If you don't want to turn them off, post back.
