JT12 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 In Affinity Designer my regular text box is working just fine, but when I try to drag out an Artistic Text box, a few things go wonky. I'm sure I've got a few settings messed up somewhere, but I can not figure out what or where. Please help. Video attached. Explanation below. So, when I try to drag out the Artistic Text box it will really only grow vertically. It seems like the horizontal is locked. Then, when I start typing, it's automatically in all caps and when I change it to normal case all of the lower case letters get sent to the front of the box past the capital letter at the beginning (see video). I am very confused. Sorry if my explanation is not very detailed. Please Help! Artistic Text Issues.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Artistic text does not have a box, just click and start typing.

JT12 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Even if I just click, I have the same issues. All the settings are still wonky. It's all smushed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT12 Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Update: Restarting the program does not help; however, using the Artistic Text tool in a different document acts normal as it should. So there is something wrong in my document. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yes, it looks like you've got some settings messed up in that document. With some Artistic Text selected, try Edit > Defaults > Revert or Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset.
