Good day,

I have a problem. If I want to learn the created cards in Anki, Anki shows me the background of the text on the back of the card in gray.  
When I am creating the cards, I usually copy a text and then I paste it on the back of my card. Could it be because of that? How can I fix the problem?  
Thanks in advance

> It’s probably a “type in the answer” note type - if you select the standard “basic” note type instead, it should display differently.

In that case, selecting your cards in the browser, right clicking and changing their note type to basic will solve your issue.
