Ah, I do feel stupid now, thanks. Moreso for assuming there was only one font size in that nav bar and posting here before double-checking. I was more fixated with getting that setting to work and I guess I was scanning for a pt adjustment and wasn't expecting a less priotised parameter to get equal billing on the same nav bar. Thanks!

Updated to 1.9.1 with no change. For reference, this is the font size (in the centre) that I mention that is making no difference to the displayed font size in text frames.

Hi, Can't find any similar problem on Google so I'll presume I'm doing this wrong rather than it being a bug? That said, it doesn't seem very intuitive if the following doesn't work? I create a Frame Text and enter text I select the frame and change the font size in the top bar from 12pt to 50pt The size doesn't change? I also try selecting text inside the frame and doing the same, without any change in size. Any text frame I select shows the font size as what I last set but it always is visibly the same as its original size. The only way I can visibly change it is dragging the outer handle but I need specific font sizes and the ability to quickly input them so this doesn't solve the situation. I'm used to setting paragraph styles for more serious projects in other software rather than manually targeting each frame. I haven't looked into this yet (I'm aware it's a feature included) but there are times, for smaller projects, where I don't want to set up styles and prefer to set each paragraph individually. I don't know how I'm missing how I'm getting such a simple adjustment wrong? (using Publisher 1.9.0 on macOS 10.14.6)

@Char_Zard13 Could you be more specific on what you feel would adjust the strength of the stabilization? I use Photo primarily for illustration and feel the stabilization strength is adjusted exactly how I would expect a strength option to affect it with the 'length' parameter. I might have missed another way of thinking of what a strength adjustment should do and perhaps a more detailed explanation would help in understanding. A little off topic but regarding: I'll happily disagree with this. I'm still using Photoshop for various tools that have yet to be realised by Photo but I've moved over to Photo entirely for my illustration work. I was a Corel Painter user a few years ago too but none of them can rival the responsiveness of canvas manipulation that Photo has. With a trackpad in my left hand and a pen in my right I can slide and zoom and spin a large canvas to exactly where I need to make the next mark in an instant without lag. It's smooth and bridges the gap between the pros and cons of doing similar on traditional mediums. A few more brush parameters would be welcome but I'd rather have the responsiveness over a few extra parameters. If I can't make good work with the brush options already there, more options won't cure that. The built in brush stabilization suggests Affinity are pretty interested in the software for illustration. It would be too much of an afterthought if illustrators were not in mind. Though there's a little bit to go yet, the amount of parameters in brush and mixer brush provide a great platform for professional work that holds its own.
