    How to disable flashing comment?

    Hi
    I've searched to see if this has already been answered, as I am sure it must have been, but couldn't find anything. Apologies for a new post.

    When I add a comment onto a cell I sometimes, but not always, find that the comment then flashes when I hover on it. I cannot see any obvious correlation between when it flashes and when it does not.
    Ideas welcome please.

    Have you recently started using a new mouse, got a new graphics card, updated mouse driver, updated graphics display driver? Any of these can cause strange problems with your display.

    Hi

    Since I posted and received a reply I have not had the problem repeat itself. However I upgraded my Mac to ElCapitan, so that might possibly have had an effect.
    Maybe someone else will post a solution for you.
