Problems with character graphic in Event

When I read signs/open boxes, etc., each time I activate the event with the action button, the graphic changes or disappears.  For example, when I read a sign, the graphic changes to a piece of a sign.  I have one event page - with Fixed movement, and action button set.  How do I keep the graphic from changing?

You want to use Lock Facing. Normally when you interact with something it turns to face you. Naturally, this causes problems with things that aren't supposed to move.

Thanks, that fixed it.
