Guys, this is STILL an issue, even with the new version. In Designer 2 I basically can't use the text frame to type something. This is a basic function that annoys me tremendously. There are also various ways of choosing which line spacing you want and I have a feeling they cancel each other out sometimes creating an absolute mess. Please tell me what to do about that!
Hi @david_ritzmann,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
To fix the text frame do the following:
- select all the text in the frame
- go to the Character Panel, Positioning and Transforming section, and set the Leading Override (the last dropdown on the left) to Auto. As it is (set to zero) it's overriding the value you set for the Leading (5pt) and forcing the lines to overlap each other.
You can then keep writing normally (you may want to increase the Leading in the context toolbar or in the Paragraph panel, Spacing section on top which is currently set to 5pt) and eventually use the Space After Paragraph (in the Paragraph panel, Spacing section, bottom right input field) to set the space between the paragraph and the line of text instead of using a second (empty) paragraph to add space between them.
