[SOLVED] Writing illegible when typing in options

Post by Peggydawg »

Hi folks,

I have tried searching for this on here already but not really sure how to describe it, so sorry if it has been posted and I've missed it. When ever I type into a box in the tool bar or the options menus under tools, the writing that is there already stays, and my writing, as well as any suggestions (eg fonts) goes over the top, making it all an illegible mess. I have included a screenshot so you can see what I mean. I have tried playing with the anti-aliasing in the Tools>options>view menus, changing from and to system font, etc but I've had no success. The screenshot is from Writer but also happens in Calc. I haven't tried the others but assume it will be the same.
