Description

Description

When in sketch pad, entering type mode ('t') causes sketch pad background to disappear.

Current Behavior

After entering sketch pad with CTRL+W or CTRL+K, draw components work fine. The moment you enter typing mode, the sketch pad background disappears and screen contents are visible again (draw content is retained)

Expected Behavior

Sketch pad background should persist (similar to draw tools)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Enter drawing mode (Ctrl + 2)
  2. Enter sketch pad (Ctrl + W or Ctrl + K)
  3. Draw a line by holding down the Shift key
  4. Draw a rectangle with the Ctrl key
  5. Press 't' to enter type mode
Product Version
