NVL mode glitch when transitioning to ADV
Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2021 3:30 pm
Hello There 
I've been lurking on this forum for the past couple of years, but I think I've finally hit a roadblock that hasn't been solved.
I'm currently working on a VN with both NVL and ADV windows, and I noticed an odd visual glitch when switching from NVL to ADV for the first time in a scene. It seems as though the NVL window flashes for half a second, empty, before renpy displays the ADV.
While not game-breaking, it certainly is somewhat annoying. As I understand it, it was supposed to be fixed somewhere around version 6.22, according to Pytom atleast.
Has anybody encountered this bug, and if so, do you know of any solutions?
Any info is greatly appreciated
P.S : Here's the description of the problem from an older thread I found, for anyone who needs a different wording :
"I've got a number of instances where I switch between NVL and ADV modes. The transition is easy enough - simply define some "ADV characters" and "NVL characters" and use them whenever I want dialog presented in ADV or NVL modes.
Well, the issue I'm seeing is that when I switch from NVL to ADV, I clear the NVL buffer, hide existing sprites, transition to a new BG, and then, for just a fraction of a second, before the ADV window pops up, the NVL window will flash on screen for a second and then disappear."
