Pages Hitting Return inserts Question Mark Boxes

When I am using Pages (latest version- 10.0) in Catalina, hitting the return key leaves a black question mark inside of a box. I have tried all of the font fixes (Validate, Restore Standard Fonts, Font Cache). If I log into another User Account, it does not do this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Odd Pages Text format bar display issue (double-image) MacBook Pro updated to version 13.2.1 of Ventura just two nights ago. Ever since, when I use Pages, whether with a new document or open a document to edit, the Format sidebar for Text - where the little box for the font size shows - it is now double-printed along with the double arrows on the side of the box. The only easy way to change font size now is to use the command key and "+" or "-". Typing directly in that font size box kind of works - except you cannot see what you are typing. YES - I have rebooted the MacBook Pro. I have closed and restarted Pages. I have tried multiple documents and created new documents. Nothing changes this display issue. I have submitted a report via Feedback Assistant as well as the Pages feedback website (which doesn't collect much data and has no way to submit a screenshot).

Keyboard completing (badly) my words and sentences for unknown reason Hello everyone, My keyboard started acting weird since the last Catalina update. It's like it tries to complete the words I'm writing but with a delay, which creates weird sentences... It happens randomly but often when I start a sentence. For example, if I type "Hello everyone" it completes the sentence before I'm done writing: "Hello evello evryone" I looked up in my preferences and disabled all the keyboard parameters like auto-correction or auto-completion but nothing changed. This happens in all my softwares. Thanks for your time.

I am getting square boxes with a question mark inside instead of the fonts all over in Mac OS X.13 and 14 I am getting square boxes with a question mark inside all over instead of the fonts. I have checked fonts for corruptions and cleaned caches, but still happens. It gets fixed after rebooting, but it comes back soon after. I have several computers at work with the same problem and all them started doing it almost at the same Time.

Hi dennol,

This question came up here about a week ago. No responses from the users in this community, but a couple from the Community Specialists. The lat response was to contact Apple Support (Link provided in the linked discussion).

You'll find the conversation here.

I would also suggest posting a bug report, using the Provide Pages Feedback menu item in the Pages menu.

Please also post a reply to your own question (and copy it to the linked discussion) if your search produces a solution.

Regards,

Barry
