MikeA Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) 1. Draw a text frame with the Frame Text tool. 2. Type some text into the frame. Make it short enough not to force the line to wrap. 3. With the cursor to the right of the right-most character, press and hold the space bar to insert multiple spaces. Result: Eventually the cursor advances past the right edge of the text frame and keeps heading to the right—until you type a non-space character. Then the line wraps. Not that anyone would likely do this as part of creating a document...but it does seem anomalous. : ) (Hoping the screen-shot upload works this time.)

Aammppaa Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 This has always been the case with Affinity text frames. It seems to be "by design" that whitespace is ignored, and only visible characters are wrapped.

MikeA Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Unfortunately, my screen shot upload failed again. I've emailed it to the company in hopes they can add it manually. But it sounds as if it's a known issue. I would echo Michail's question: what is the benefit? I wouldn't call it a deal-breaker...just something of an oddity. At the very least it demonstrates that you've made an odd mistake—say, the family cat walked across the keyboard and paused momentarily on the space bar when you weren't looking.

MikeA Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 If this problem with uploading screen shots persists, is there some other way to include a JPEG or PNG file as an attachment to a post here? The "Insert other media" command refers to "insert existing attachment"—how does one upload a file from the local machine so that it becomes an "existing attachment"?

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 13, 2020 Not really. There's nothing to make a mark to test against the wrap shape of the frame is my best guess. I suspect it stops false positives on overflow. Also alignment is done on marking text so the spaces need to be "lost" somewhere.

MikeA Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Thanks, haakoo, for the animated GIF. I really need to figure out why my screen-shot uploads aren't working here.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2020 There's zero Plus in Affinity, but the same programmer wrote that bit of both, so....in that regard they have some similar takes on solutions to problems emmrecs01 and Michail 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
