Gentlefolks,

Recently, when I open Inkpad, on either my Windows 7 or Windows 10 platform, the text I entered from my Smart Phone appears briefly and then is covered by a dark grey overlay. The only change is my having updated to Firefox 45.0

Fred MCD,

Thanks for the Firefox No-addons tip. I now know what was causing the issue. I had Added an Extension for Grammarily.com. I disabled same, and voila! All is well.

Thank you,

Major

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

While still in Safe Mode,
