Your problem has also happened to me John. But, it had to do with typing on a path. I couldn’t see anything happening until I had finished typing a line and then only a part of the line would pop in. It was like having a very slow computer. I was told that not having the Info palette open would help and I think it has. I haven’t done much more in the way of typing on a path since I noticed the problem though, so can’t really say whether it did or not. Anyhow, from now on when I use type, whether on a path or not, I hit F8 to make sure the Info palette is off. I think someone said it had to do with the histogram in the info palette. I guess I could just drag that away from the info part and see what happens. Anyhow, I think there is something going on with the type but don’t know quite what it is yet.

It may be due to the font files or it may be just a combination of
circumstances, but sometimes changing point size and/or font can cause the most weird appearance on the screen. It does not redraw on the fly. Clicking the tick, top right, to commit sorts it but this is still a bug to me. Just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. WAABT
