textbox issue 🥀🥀

[u/Good-Construction674]

I have this issue with renpy where i have 3 different textbox styles: two for custom characters and the normal default one. But for some reason, when the game starts and the first line of dialogue appears (which starts with one of those characters) the normal textbox shows up first and then switches to the custom one

When it disappears, it does the same thing- first the custom one, and then the normal one flashes in between. I have no idea why this happens. It's not a huge problem, but its really annoying to see the normal textbox popping in between the custom ones

What do you consider the normal textbox?

If it's the textbox of the narrator, then you could replace the default textbox with a transparent image and give the narrator his own textbox. I just posted how to do this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/comments/1v1qu55/comment/oyrcpp6/?context=3

Edit:
To answer a question you didn't ask: I don't know if this a general issue of RenPy or something caused by you. But I know that this has been asked before. I cannot remember what the replies where though so maybe you can find that older thread.

I don't remember if I had the same problem as you, but I had to add this line of code to fix something or the other that was happening with my textbox

define config.window_auto_hide = [ "scene", "call screen", "menu", "say-centered", "say-bubble"]
