  Hello @tapescows9r,

  I’m not currently able to reproduce this on my end. If you update to version 2025.23, are you still able to see this happen?

  The link above should take you directly to the app update.

  If you can still reproduce this, could you please contact us at dayone.me/support so you can send us a video screen recording?

  Hi @staff-reid,

  Still reproducible on 2025.23 even after app reinstall. Of note, use Built-in Apple XDR display not an external monitor, with a light-colored background, and when composing a new entry.

  Thanks!
