This is a new one on me. See attached screen grab.
I'm using a work laptop because it has FCP Studio 2 on it. I'm preparing for a huge all-staff meeting and wanted to use Motion 3 because of the cool new templates in it (I only have Studio 1 on my G5 here, and am not very good with Motion to begin with).
Anyway, as you can see, I opened a template and attempted to change some text to read "SCHOOL BOARD 2008." Notice that in the bottom of the Text inspector, I typed it correctly. But as I watch it appear in the top preview window and in the preview screen itself, by the time I get halfway through the word "BOARD," phantom letters begin popping up. No matter how many times I type it, Caps Lock on or off, it starts scrambling the letters around until it reads "CCOOL BORRD 8888." This is blowing my mind (and lots of my time).
Specs: Studio 2, Motion 3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll mess around with font but doubt that'll help.

Yeah, font was the issue. Oddly enough, some fonts actually changed the error to something else, while most others corrected the issue. Is this a known problem?
