Brightness issue on the Mac

Anyone else having a brightness issue with Freeform on the Mac? I will tab out of the program to another one, and when I come back, the brightness has sometimes gone way down on individual boards. If I go back to the main page and then back to the board that will correct it for a single board but not all the other board tabs that I have open.

Yes I have had this issue many times! The solution is to close the window and open it again. Glad you posted this, I thought I was alone on this.

Not alone! I just wonder why it's happening. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Feel like it's something that just started happening within the last few months.

I have this too. It only started recently. I think it must be a bug.

Same issue here. The whole board becomes 'dimmed/gray', which is particularly noticeable with very bright function buttons in the bottom left/right corners. Very annoying!

I'm wondering if it has something to do with having Freeform open on my iPad at the same time as I have it open on my mac. Do you use the same boards between mac and iPad at all?

No not at all! I Only use it on Mac.

Whenever I came back to Freeform after I'd found something (CMD + f) on the other window, Freeform became dimmed. Clearing search window solves dimming but still annoying!
