I’m on 8.1.4, currently. I noticed that in Perspective, I have a button with an expression binding on the button text, and everything works great – except that when a page first opens up, a quick “button” displays as text in the button, then disappears. ~~After~~~~ some ~~~~testing~~~~ , ~~~~ this ~~~~seems~~~~ to ~~~~be~~~~ happening ~~~~only~~~~ because ~~~~I~~~~ have ~~~~the~~~~ text ~~~~determined~~~~ by ~~~~an~~~~ expression ~~~~binding~~~~. ~~~~ If ~~~~I~~~~ remove ~~~~this~~~~ expression ~~~~binding~~~~ , ~~~~ and ~~~~do~~~~ something ~~~~like~~~~ replace ~~~~the~~~~ text ~~~~with~~~~ nothing ~~~~,~~ ~~the~~~~ quick ~~~~“~~~~ button ~~~~”~~ ~~text~~~~ goes ~~~~away~~~~.~~ Is this a bug, and/or is there a workaround to ensure that (when a view is first loaded) the button simply displays no text until the expression binding is evaluated? ---

Try right clicking the button’s text and setting the ‘Persistent’ property. ---

No apparent change in behavior, with ‘Persistent’ checked or not. Alas. ---

It shouldn’t matter, but this button is in an embedded object in a parent project.
