Master pages preventing some functions

[Rondem]

I noticed that when using master pages, some things are blocked although they should editable.

In text frame when you make an anchor it can not be deleted. When clicking on the trash can, the function is ignored.

Same with tints. You cant use the function.

But when you go in Detached mode in layers, it is than possible to do the things.

This is what i found, but could be more of them.

I also found that I could not toggle the bookmark button in the anchors panel on or off when the anchor was part of text in a frame on a master page. (It might have worked if I used edit detached, I forget.)

This was on the regular 1.9 version, but I don't see anything about it in beta release notes.

Hi @Rondem,

are you trying to delete the anchor on the master page itself or on a page of your document with the master page applied?

This could be an explanation why detached mode 'unlocks' the anchor on the masterpage. It would also be interesting to try what happens if you turn on 'Edit linked'.
