Text Automatically Becomes Background Text

So I'm just starting out and I'm hitting a problem that I don't know how to fix. I started a chain where the player can click an object, and then they'll move to another room where the same object is visible from another angle in order to say something about it. When you look at the object in the first room, it sets a condition, and there's an action area in the second room that has an if statement that plays if the condition is true, then immediately turns the condition off. 

Could you post a screenshot of your actions? 
Without I can only specualate...

Here's the screenshot. As you can see, the checkbox for background text is not checked, and yet in play it displays as background text.

The reason I was using an action area rather than a scene object itself is because I needed the player to be able to click the object in a separate room, walk to this room, and then the action area moves the player to the correct destination.

If you check the action list there's a section with immediate action types. They don't require the character to move to the destination before they execute, they execute immediately as soon as you use a valid command/item on them.

Ah I see. Thanks, I'll try that out!
