Question

adding callouts in a doc


using mac mini (silicon chip), desktop miro (paid class)

i have learned to turn off the vpn, and have almost no other apps running to get smooth functionality; and only seldomly, there be lag. 

however, my battle with callouts is one i’m losing. i can’t click out of a callout i create in a doc or create new callouts. and it’s odd because all other features are fine.

 

if more detail helps, here it is:

 

  • i add a doc, add heading, then add a callout
  • i’m able to type and change border color and emoji
  • but then i have difficulty clicking outside the callout into the doc, and i have to meander to other items and click in those, then try the doc again before it finally works
  • otherwise, trying to add a callout creates another block within the same border of the first callout
  • but it gets totally stuck after adding a second callout, and nothing i do gets me three in one doc (except one time after clicking around like a crazy person did i get three, but i can’t recreate that miracle, nor conjure a fourth)

i did these logical what-if’s:

  • i checked other boards, and i have the same issue
  • i’ve opened new docs in the same board, and tried copying existing callouts, but miro simply copies them into an existing callout
  • i’ve tried this across multiple days now, and same result.

 

again, everything else i use works fine

 

i’m afraid to uninstall and reinstall because i had some issues during the initial install and want to leave that as the last ditch effort

 

is this a common thing with callouts? (mac users or otherwise)

is a similar thing with a different feature common? 

 

thanks in advance
