Since starting to work on an update to a website using F3, I have been running into several issues with the display in edit mode.
Many of the boundaries around various tools on a page are not visible or are always white and sometimes only partially visible. This does not happen with any of my other sites built either with F2 or Source.
I have uploaded a screenshot that shows some of the problems. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on what is going on.
Do you have “Acceleration” enabled in the Toolbox stack? If so, try turning it off.
Are you running Mac OS Ventura? There’s an issue with that.
Hey there @handshaper – When you reply to @DLH and @Steve_J also include your project file in the event that you do not have Acceleration Mode (in the Toolbox settings) enabled. Also let us know what version of macOS you’re using specifically.
I specifically checked for that, and it is turned OFF, as it said it did not work on Ventura. I am running Ventura 13.2 on a 14" M1 MAX MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM. NOTE: This version of the site has not yet been published.
What are the instructions for uploading a project?
Create a ZIP file containing your project file. This is the file you open in RapidWeaver to edit your site. After creating the ZIP file, upload it using a service like Dropbox, WeTransfer, Droplr, or a similar service to create download link for us. Paste that download link in your reply.
i have a similar problem… but only in the navigation bar
i am also running Ventura 13.2 on a 14" M1 MAX MacBook Pro with 32GB of RAM.
acceleration ist off but also the toolbox.
i will Create a ZIP file and sent you an direct message
Thanks. I’ll have a look and see if I can force Ventura and Stacks Edit Mode to like each other a wee-bit more. Maybe they need a counseling session or something.
@Pegasus I suspect yours is from the Backdrop filter you’re applying to the nav bar in Blacksmith. The Ventura / Stacks compatibility in Edit Mode is choking on the Backdrop properties. Probably smarter not to show them in Edit Mode anyway. I’ll tell Blacksmith to only apply the backdrop filters in Preview Mode and on the Published site. We’ll have to wait and see what @handshaper’s project file shows us there.
Stacks is a hot mess with Ventura. I’m seeing anomalies with all kinds of stacks from pretty much every Developer.
I think Stacks 5 is using a version of WebKit that Apple has retired, so this’ll be a job for Isaiah.
OK, here is a Dropbox link to the project files; hopefully, it works.
@handshaper – I suspect, like @Pegasus, that your problem is also being caused by the backdrop filter as well. If you temporarily delete Blacksmith from your page does it clear up the problem for you?
yap… no problems now!
thx 
I tried deleting Blacksmith, and it did NOT fix my problem.
You have some things on your page I cannot account for – a non-Foundry tools – that I do not own. So I have to remove them for testing. Grouper and FormSnap being the two I see. So I have to remove them for testing. I also removed Blacksmith to test against the bug I found when testing the project file sent to me by @Pegasus. Doing those things resolves the problem here.
So if you still have problems after temporarily removing Blacksmith, try also removing those non-Foundry tools as well and see what the results are.
I’ll refer you also to what @jacksona said here:
Also you have put your Toolbox inside a Partial. You shouldn’t do that.
@Pegasus — This change will go out in the next update. I had planned on releasing the update late today or tomorrow, but I’ve added a lot of stuff this week and want to have a little time for testing and documentation writing. Plus it looks like we’re still seeing if @handshaper might have an issue still, and if so maybe I can get that one in the same update, too. So likely Monday is when it will ship if all goes well.
I don’t suspect that is it. If it ends up being the case I’d be interested to see it in action.
Aloha, Adam. I think things have possibly been resolved. First, as you suggested, I removed the Grouper stack. I did not remove Formsnap. I then moved the Toolbox tool out of the partial. At first, these changes had ZERO effect.
Then I double-clicked the header for the Toolbox to expand it, and instantly all of the drawing problems were resolved. So then I collapsed it again, and the problems returned. So it appears, at least in my case, that the problem lay there. Not sure why that would happen, as I am typically very anal about collapsing stacks on my page when I’m not using them.
BTW, turning off anti-aliasing did not affect the problem.
