Comments Section - Shakes and Flickers

Each time I enter information in the Comments Section of an assignment, the screen is either shaking up and down or flickers. This happens in both Canvas environments of the Colleges I serve. It is very hard on the eyes and makes me dizzy. It also becomes like a game of anticipation where I position my cursor to type additional information or attempt to delete something. Please help.

Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work, contact your manufacturer. By the way, what device are you using? Computer, tablet, or phone? Sharing your device details would be helpful!

I am also responding to Gabriel33 who stated:

If you click on Account on the left, and then Settings, at the bottom of the page, you should see Feature Options. One feature option is Disable Celebration Animations,

Please try toggling that on, and see if it stops those.

I went to both Colleges I serve and in both Colleges, this option does not exist. The closest one I can say is the option that shows: "Emojis in Submission Comments."

Thank you!

I have been experiencing the same issue for the last couple of months. I'm using free canvas. Have tried changing the zoom (it was 80%) - will see if that fixes it. It does seem to be related to the scroll bar.

I, too, continue to have this issue. I'm at 100%. I'm in Chrome, and shouldn't have to change. Please, any solutions?

I know that this already has a solution, but I've found that the Comment Library is the cause of my problem with the jumpy comment box. If "Show suggestions while typing" is turned on, Canvas is refreshing to look for similar comments.

Try turning it off.

I had this issue with Chrome and switched to Edge (Win 11). Worked great for a couple of months, and now it is also doing the shakes and wiggles. Yes, I have a Lenovo. I may need to use Firefox to see if that resolves the issue once and for all. I wish Lenovo would figure out what is causing this issue and provide an update/fix.

using Canvas to teach foreign languages that use accented letters and other special characters
I am currently teaching a high school Spanish course, and many of my assignments use the fill-in-the-blank question type in new quizzes.
