Blork 18 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Currently on 7.02 on MacOS. When in snippet view, the active note's sidebar snippet is lightly shaded in gray. OK, that's nice. But it keeps blinking! As in, when you're working in the note, the snippet shading keeps going off (turning to white) for a second every few seconds. So it's alternating between white background (like all notes) and shaded background. This is really distracting and annoying! Anyone else in here seeing that? Where's the quality control for pete's sake! Link to comment
Lucky#7 1 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yes! Software just updated yesterday and now the snippet view, active note, blinks constantly while I'm typing. Don't know if it is related to the note syncing or just the typing but it's a HORRENDOUS visual distraction, like a little strobe light. I use Evernote all day long but this is making me cringe and not want to use it. Evernote Support, please help! 7.02, Mac Link to comment

Should be fixed, for sure. On 05/03/2018 at 8:05 PM, Blork said: Where's the quality control for pete's sake! No need for drama. Open the note you're working on in a separate window, minimize the main one and you'll be fine. Link to comment
Blork 18 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Seriously? I jump back and forth between notes every few seconds. Your solution is a cop out. There's no "drama" in expecting a company with the kind of resources that Evernote has to do a bit of QA. Link to comment

elpaquete 2 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Same here. It's quite annoying, please fix Just to add more information, if I'm using card view it stops blinking. It stops from distracting me at least, might be useful to others. Link to comment
Blork 18 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 @CTLow: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/evernote If they have 200 million users, then it's in their best interests to do good QA so they're not wasting time addressing millions of support calls over stupid usage problems.

Another one is to switch to card view, as suggested by @elpaquete Link to comment
JacobM 1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have the same issue. With sidebar in snippet view and editing a note (I'm guessing as it's saving in the background), the dark grey selection highlight blinks white-then-grey. It looks like it's being unselected and reselected as I type. It's solid grey when not editing. In card view it blinks with the upload icon, which isn't bad, but the blinking is still a bit distracting. In list view it's fine, so that's what I've been using. It seems like a small issue but I find it very distracting when trying to focus on writing. Evernote info: Version 7.0.2 (456267 App Store) Editor: 1.38.3824 (68bd1c0) Link to comment
akubird 8 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm in full agreement with @blork, this is super annoying and unnecessary. Let's ditch it right away before it becomes a thing. I kept syncing thinking it would go away but of course that wasn't it. Thanks Evernote for getting rid of this usability bug. Link to comment
AlwaysBreaking 1 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just chiming in that the blinking snippet is incredibly annoying. I know there are work arounds, but I've been using Evernote in a certain way for a long time and shouldn't have to change the way I work because of a UI annoyance. This needs to be fixed.
