alice-teacher Screen goes dark when "Say" command used?

[EILEEN PELUSO]

I rarely use Macs, but have seen the same phenomenon - pretty much all the time, as I recall - on that platform.  I've never seen it on our PCs.

Subject: alice-teacher Screen goes dark when "Say" command used?

One of my students noticed that the lighting in his program seems to go dark when certain "Say" commands are used. It doesn't happen all the time, and it does not seem to be a problem with the syntax of his program. Has anyone else noticed this problem, and is there some way to fix it?

The problem has only been noticed on Macs - is the platform the issue?

Sample program is attached.

Thanks!
