Data Map: Text Added to Data Map Flashes as You Type (132510)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q132510 SYMPTOMS
When you add text to a map that you have created in your document using
Data Map, the text flashes or is redrawn as you type each character of the
text on your map.
CAUSE
When you insert a map (Data Map object) in your document, you can add text
to the map by clicking the Add Text button on the Data Map toolbar,
clicking on your map, and then typing the text you want displayed. However,
when you add text to your map, each character that you type causes the
entire string of text to flicker on the screen. This behavior occurs
because each character on the map must be drawn individually.
Note that this behavior does not affect the functionality of Data Map; the
behavior is only a visual effect. This behavior is most obvious on a slower
computer or when you type text that overlaps the map (because the map color
and text background color are different).
