Anyone else having this problem? I've had to stop using W4 because of that bug... It happens randomly after a JA or spell.

It looks similar to an infrequent bug that happened with the text plugin in that the entire game screen gets overlapped with the background transparent fill of the timers text.

The temp way to fix it is to unload timers and reload it, but it will happen again randomly after a JA or spell and is very annoying... can even get you killed since you don't see very much when it happens.

The best way to get around this issue is by enabling graphical mode for Timers. (Remember there's slim mode to make the bars smaller.)
If for some reason you really don't like graphical mode, you'll have to change the colour settings for the background. The only problem with doing this is you might then have trouble viewing the text depending on your location (e.g. white text in a snowfield).

It's a bug with the hook thats been around forever. Sometimes the backgrounds of text boxes can bleed on the whole screen. Just reload whichever plugin is causing it.

Thanks Lil, You're right... I had disabled the graphic timers because at first it used to crash timers even worse, I'll give it a go with it back on! Really appreciate your feedback, Thanks!
