SYMPTOMS
When you press Enter, an additional node with the name "actor" (without the quotes) appears on the timeline. Another actor appears on the timeline each time you press Enter. You may notice that the time duration of the new actor is the same as the object before it.



CAUSE
When the timeline is at time zero and the cursor is at the end of a section of timed text, the cursor is actually inside the container, which holds the preceding timed element. When you press Enter and the cursor goes to the next line, Vizact creates a new empty element (an actor) with the same timing applied as the previous element, but without any content.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
To work around this behavior, right-click the empty actor, and click Remove All Timing from the menu. This will remove the empty actors.
