Construct 2 Version ID

I'm using the last version of NW.js for C2 (january) and C2 beta release r424

I put 3 text boxes into a layout, previewed with NW.js, and saw nothing odd. You should provide a *.capx and some additional information.

• graphics card model
• graphics driver version
• graphics driver release date
• webgl enabled or disabled

I can't reproduce either.

I have lots of games with text boxes that run fine in NW.JS.

Sounds more like you might have an event resetting your text boxes to blank when mouse is not over them.

I would check your events one by one.

Also check your effects if you are using masks.

i've just made a bunch of text boxes in a new project with nothing in the project.

Well seems like it is a problem from my side.

here's an image of the problem. It's pretty simple.

First, upload your capx so the bug report isn't closed for not following the guidelines.

Second, have you tried updating your graphics card drivers?

OK I looked at the pic and it looks like you don't have any text in the boxes so of course nothing will show up?

Put some text in your boxes and try it.

That is not a bug and you might want to move this to the HOW DO I SECTION.

lamar text boxes like these should show up even without any text in them, like web form boxes.

Oops my bad- I thought he was doing a standard text. Yes the box should show up. Shows up on mine.

I just tested a text box in my game in NW.jS to make sure and it works.

Could be you have something moving to the top of the layer covering the text boxes when the mouse is not over them?

Would need to see a capx but does not look like a bug.

I also can't reproduce. Since no .capx was attached I can't verify the actual way you are testing, which goes against our bug report guidelines, so closing.
