Hi – not sure this will help anyone, but I thought I would share. I inspected the font drop-down element in the slide editing dashboard, and one of the media queries was “prefers reduced motion.” I searched that and found an article on Stack Exchange: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59708982/4959465
I changed my Windows animation settings, and all is working fine. I’m very happy because I didn’t want to downgrade or abandon Depicter.
