Hi, I’m working on a new application and i have a text area with black background color by default, when i toggle in preview mode, focus on the text area change automatically background to white color and i don’t understand why… When i use a script “focusGained” to change the background color to red (for example), it doesn’t works (always white) but on “focusLost” script, it works. My question: how to avoid the change to white color ? ---

Assuming this is the Vision text area, it is just a bug in our software that currently has a fix pending to be merged in. I suspect it will be merged into the next version of 8.1.x but I cannot make that promise as it is part of a much larger fix for some various visual problems in Vision. ---

Hi, I’m not able to resolve it, i’ve just made a temporary solution with “focusGained” and “focusLost” scripts with foreground color text. Regards. ---
