I do have auto size and word wrap enabled. When I turn off word wrap, the flickering stops. I also tried re-spacing words, or adding more or less, and those three still flickered. I don't know why just those three flicker and not others that have just as much text.

Thank you for your input. For now this will do I guess. How unusual!

Yes, I recall some weirdness with hotspot text boxes set to both auto size and word wrap.

Makes sense. Word wrap makes text fit into a fixed width. Auto Size tries to expand the text box to make everything fit. I think the two commands can’t decide who is in control. They’re fighting each other causing the flicker. You're watching a boxing match. Unintended animation. :wink:

Check your mouse commands for the flickering items. Mouse Down, Mouse Over and Mouse Click can be easily incorrectly selected.
This can also be true of alpha settings.
