Hey @recca380, sorry to jump in, but can you clarify the platform you're using when you notice this?


Is it the Dropbox app, the Dropbox Paper app, or maybe a web browser? 

 

If it's the latter, have you tried clearing its cache or using another one

 

Keep us posted!

So, you're using the Dropbox Paper mobile app for Android OS to edit your Paper files. 

 

May I ask if this persists for all of your Paper docs or only a specific one @recca380?

 

Do you get any different results if you use a web browser to do this instead of the app?

Persist for all of them, only does it on the app. Can't remember if I mentioned Android. I have version 304.1 and I have cleared the cache.

Hey @recca380, have you tried uninstalling the Paper app, restarting the device and then reinstalling it, to see if that helps?

Hi @recca380, and sorry for jumping in. 

 

Do you mind if we open a ticket for you, in order to look into this further?
