Seneca Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I'm unable to delete an empty line on imported IDMLs using a backspace key. For example, open an IDML file, create an empty line with a return key and then try to delete it with a backspace (delete) key. This doesn't work me. Can anyone confirm this, thanks.

nwhit Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Just tried it on an IDML import and works fine. Went to an existing paragraph of text, added a <CR>, then used the Delete key to delete it. Worked okay here. -------------------- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020 i7 72GB) • AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB • macOS Ventura MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Ventura iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaing Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Confirmed - backspace doesn't work on returns for me on Mojave - I can move cursor back and use forward delete - but backspace key does nothing, only applies to full returns, works OK with a soft-return MacBook Pro M1 Max, macOS 12.6.1 Monterey Affinity Designer : 2.0 Affinity Photo: 2.0, Affinity Publisher: 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted February 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 6, 2020 Do you only get this after importing IDML, not on a new document? I can't reproduce on MacOS 10.14 at the moment. Do you also get this after a CTRL Run up? Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backspace key works OK on any document created in Publisher. It's only when I import an IDML file that it stops working. 🙂 Here is the IDML file and a short video demonstrating the problem I have: IDML-from-inDesign.idml idml-backspace.mov 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted February 6, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 6, 2020 So, that idml file just crashes when opened on Windows for me, something to do with font encoding which I've logged to be looked at further... On Mac I can reproduce it, it seem related to the auto correct option "Use tab to alter paragraph level instead of inserting a tab". Backspace seems to be functioning as a tab - I'll also get this logged Edit: Seems related to the Basic Paragraph text style Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I uploaded earlier was just a no frills sample file. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
