Steve_1010 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi Everyone. My frame text tool is acting weird. I've attached a video to show you. Any suggestions why it's doing this? All the best, Steve Screen_Recording_2020-09-30_at_20_53_50.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Could be: Left Inset in the General section of the Text Frame studio panel. Or Left Indent in the Spacing section of the Paragraph studio panel.

thomaso Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Besides the left indent I wonder about the selection marquee which seems to get activated as soon you click on the page with the frame text tool. If it occurs after an app or even computer restart: Can you show the layers panel while repeating this action?

I restarted everything but that outline still occurs. It only occurs on that one page. It starts when I click on the page. Here's a video of the layers panel while I repeat the action. Any ideas?

thomaso Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I can reproduce such a selection in APub by a temporary switch to the Photo Persona > Select All to create this pixel selection marquee > switch back to APub. This will maintain the selection on the specific page. You can get rid of it in any of APub's personas via menu Select > Deselect.

Steve_1010 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi Thomaso, Got busy, but back on Affinity Publisher. Thanks for the explanation. I was able to deselect it as per your process. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
