Hey, all. Hoping you can help me with a bit of an issue. Minor, perhaps, but it's been bugging me. So the problem is that when I use the loop command for dialogue options, the text box disappears before the choices come up. { "lightbox_close": "Close",

Hey, all. Hoping you can help me with a bit of an issue. Minor, perhaps, but it's been bugging me.
So the problem is that when I use the loop command for dialogue options, the text box disappears before the choices come up.

This is the typical response tree, where the dialogue box is still onscreen.

And here is one where I set a loop point right before the choices.
Is there a way to go about getting the text box to stay up? I need the loop points so that all of the investigate options will loop back to the choices. And setting the loop point before the text box is a no-go, because then it pops up after you ask a question which doesn't work conversationally 99% of the time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
