Summerman Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 In Designer v2 I'm trying to select a text object below another text object and when I hover the cursor over the object I want to select and click the object above is always selected. I'm trying to do this at Zoom to Fit view. This does not happen in the previous version of Designer. Is there a work around or a setting I need to change in the Preferences that I'm not seeing?

MikeTO Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I think I've seen other reports of similar problems and somebody from Serif commented that it was being investigated. It does feel like the selection zone for objects is a bit larger than the actual objects in v2.

For text objects, the selection zone appears to be the body height in v2, not the bounding box. See ^ And that's a bug, in my opinion.
