kanihoncho Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The text cursor in AP 1.9.1 is wonky. I created a text block. When I insert the text cursor at the beginning of the last line to add a space, the whole working area shifts to the left and the cursor shifts off the "artboard". I quit AP, restart, and it still behaves the same way . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hey kanihoncho, I don't think this is a bug - the zoom just centers itself so you can see what you're typing. You can then worry about formatting after. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanihoncho Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 It is a bug because I cannot edit the text because it has gone off screen. When i place cursor to edit the text the second picture above happens. it is repeatable and still occurs when I restart the app . . . unless you have developed some new way to edit off screen text . . .

Staff Chris B Posted March 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 2, 2021 In Affinity Designer you can toggle clip to canvas so you'd be able to see the text. Photo doesn't have this but the text tools are the same in both apps.

carl123 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If I take your document into Publisher and switch on Show Special Characters you can see you have about 17 spaces after the word "Here's" which is why the cursor ends up there and appears to be outside the text frame. What I can't immediately understand is why the spaces do not simply wrap to the next line when they reach the edge of the text frame. This also occurs on all other lines in your text. If you add spaces they appear outside the frame. I may get a chance to have another look tomorrow but hopefully somone else will figure it out for you before then Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

People should better learn to stop adjusting spacing by typing multiple whitespaces… If you really need line breaks by using multiple whitespace, there the non-breaking space that will do exactly that. 2 hours ago, Chris B said: We've decided to log an improvement to stop the caret leaving the bounding area For the record, it's consistently happening in all three apps. And for what it's worth, I just checked how the folks at the company which rhymes with schmadobe have solved it: the cursor remains inside the text box on the same line, and the whitespaces are simply being "squeezed". That's how it should behave, in my opinion.

I did check to see what a few apps did and the one that rhymes with schmadobe did seem to have a nice solution.
