Disappearance of Text Within Text Editor Object

On one of my forms, there is a text editor object. When this text editor object is selected, the text within disappears.

Here is a photo of the form showing the text editor object (Other Info) unselected.

When the Other Info object is selected, the text within disappears, as shown below.

Of course, when I double click within this text object, the text reappears.

One way to fix this issue, is to disable Pop Up Editing on the Other Info object.

Also, I have tried resizing the Other Info object (after double clicking within), but this does not solve the issue.

Any suggestions on what I might do differently to prevent the text from disappearing?

That would be my suggestion.

The other option is to turn off the scroll bar for this field. With the scroll bar turned off, this problem doesn’t happen.

In general I would suggest avoiding pop-up editing. It’s a non-Mac standard editing method that is left over from Panorama 1.0. I’ve left it in because some people like it, but it is not how modern Mac apps are supposed to work.

Thank you Jim.

Yes, I am one of those who prefers pop-up edition, as it helps prevents accidental inputs. But, I can adapt.

I would probably suggest just turning off the scroll bar option. If you want to scroll, then double click.
