Hey,

as I reported months ago text fields in Thunkable X cause weird shaking / distortion of the whole layout or at least the container where they are located in… I was told Thunkable would take a look into this. Is there any update yet? or a workaround? I would really like finally being capable of creating at least basic somewhat professional looking apps with Thunkable X but that just looks terrible and I couldn’t find any reason for this… Happens not only in preview but also in the finished app… I created a new app to test it and it seems to happen as soon as I add images to the layout?

If anybody has a workaround solution I would really appreciate it!

Hi @Chris! 👋

* * *

The problem is, the **.gif** shows that your screen is shaking.  
When we look closely, only the images (icons) are going **visible & invisible**. (The icons are flashing)

* * *

So, the Solution is, to **Replace the images with buttons.** ✅  
With the same height, width & image, just **replace** images with buttons 😄

Try this, you will not encounter any errors like this 😉

* * *

This issue has been reported various times, this was the solution 😄

@junjoseph, no need of project now… 😉

* * *

Hope I helped you 🙂

# Thanks! 😊

Thank you very much for this workaround 🙂 I realized it also works with rows and background images - happy that there is a workaround for now but also really sad that this had not been adressed yet even tough it was reported so long ago 😕
