Begonius Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi there, this is my first post. Apologies, if I am wrong here. I have updated to Version 1.9 (Photo, Designer, Publisher). Out of the blue a strange thing happens: When draw a new textframe with the textframe tool, the prom shows up outside of the frame on the right side. When I start to type, the letters show right there. I haven't changend my routines. When I started the project, the textframes worked fine. No problem. So now I am a bit lost. I would appreciate your help. Thank you in advance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums @Begonius! Please have a look at the Paragraph panel if you have a too high value for left indent?

Begonius Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Joachim, thank you for coming back so fast. I checked the indents in both the textframe panel as well as the paragrah panel. No matter what I turn the to, the result is the same. But thanks for the idea anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi @Begonius, Welcome to Affinity Forums Go to the Text Frame panel and make sure you have the columns set to 1 and that the width of it is not zero in the table below (all in the Columns section).

Begonius Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi MEB, thank you. I have checked as you suggested. Meanwhile the promt has chosen another place to show up. I add the Screenshot. As well I have created a new document for comparison. I is just one page. In the new document the textframe works as one would expext it to do: the prompt ist in the upper left corner. But the document I actually work on has 40 pages. And right now there are these strange things happening with the textframe tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 9, 2021 You still have a left-indent applied (77mm) and a first line indent as well in that screenshot. Remove it from the Paragraph panel and the text should go back to the original/default position. Do you still have the original file from v1.8 with you?

Begonius Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi MEB, thank you!! This did the trick! So I will remember to check the values in the textframe panel AND the text panel for some "old remains". Actually Joachim was right too. Thanks for your time, both of you. Stay healthy and happy!
