AC15 Lion text edit

Multi-line text edit will show only part of text string.
If I unwrap text then re-wrap it it will show complete string.
Is this part of the Lion text conundrum?

Not seeing the problem here (AC15 3267 on Mac OS 10.7.2).

Same problem here, it's a pain in the neck. I've tried changing the visibility of the scroll bars (System Preferences > General), but it didn't make a difference.

I get it even with single line text. Parts of it disappear while typing, but always is correct once it is clicked in place

Multiline is fine for me on 10.7.2, but single line is absolutely bizarre: simply double click with the text tool and start typing - as I type, worse, all prior text disappears, then reappears. Sometimes, just the last word I typed shows up until I press the spacebar - then the rest of the text appears.

Annoying, but not a deal-breaker.

You indicate you're using Leopard on a PPC Mac. If so, it's a general bug rather than a Lion issue. I hadn't noticed the single line issue - it seems to happen only periodically, and I hadn't really been looking that closely at individual words while typing.

My profile also said I was using ArchiCAD 12. I'm now using AC 15 on Mac OS 10.7.2 from an Intel iMac. Profile updated.

I found out that when I put a space at the end of the text line and backspace once it does not give me any problems with the text. Not great but it works for now.
