Having trouble with adding editable text boxes in PowerPoint

Question

Hello,

I've been trying to add in editable text boxes to a presentation in PowerPoint using the developer tools, but when I add a single text box it shows up as two during the live presentation with the actual editable one super-imposed above the text box I want (see attached screenshot). 

How do I go about fixing this issue? Do I need to change something under text box properties?

Thanks very much,

Sarah S

Please visit the web site of your computer manufacturer and see if there is a recent Windows 10 video driver for your model, then download and install it. The maker of the video card may also have a newer driver.

You are on semi annual update channel. Are you able to switch to Monthly. I had the exact same problem on semi annual . No one else could replicate the problem but it went away when I updated to a later version

Hi John,

I think it is actually my display settings on my extended screen monitor. When I tested the presentation on just my laptop it doesn't have the same issue. Any suggestions for formatting properties of my monitor (BenQ model monitor) to resolve this issue?

Best,

Sarah

I checked back in my notes and it was only in Presenter view that I saw the duplication.
