Select line with Move tool

[Henric]

Unable to select line with Move tool, can only move Nodes with Node Tool

[Henric]

Hmmm, it seams to be old lines from version 1 dokuments, if I create a new line in v2, I can move it with Move tool

[Henric]

Bugg Nr2

1. Creating a horizontal line with Pen Tool.

2. Copy the Line and rotate it 90° (vertical)

3. The Node handels disappears from the line

 

UPDATE:

(Above seams only to happen on files/documents from V1. I have alot of files that I use again as "templates files". Would like to still use, this files in v2, instead of re-create them from scratch.

I seem to have the same issue with curves that consist of two points, connected by a straight line. More precisely, the handle to rotate as well as the possibility to drag the curve disappears sometimes.

In the attached clip, I have a such a curve which I copied to a newly created file where everything works fine. When I copy it back to my project, it's no longer working correctly. When I curve the line, the box appears and I can drag it.

This happened a couple of times in cases where the line was created (in Publisher V2) as well as when the line was part of a V1 figure.

 

The document itself is an imported V1 document, though

Hey,

I also have the same problem - and this is a quite annoying problem I have to say Therefore, I hope for a fast fix.

However, I found a work around for the time being: If you create a group for that specific curve, you are able to alter the position via the the Move tool.

Perfect! Thank you! 🤩

+1 for this problem.

Zoom out.

Most likely you'll see a thin blue line with endnodes and rotation handle at some distance from the line you drew.

This line should be on top of the drawn line when you select it with the move tool.

Unfortunately we have been unable to reproduce this internally. Can someone please provide a document that we can try? It's possible we aren't setting it up in the same way. We've tried a V1 document in V2 on both macOS and Windows.

Hey,

I tried to reproduce it on my other PC (I'm no longer at work for the day). However, I cannot reproduce this on a new file. However, as I open my file in question (which I ported from v1 to v2) I have still the problem, but also encountered another bug. So, for some lines/curves, the handles appear but in the wrong position (Image 1).

For other lines/curves no move handle appears (Image 2).

After some more time, I found the following: I always select elements via strg+click, and after some "tries" the move handlers of Image 1, but also of a new line (in a file imported from v1) have disappeared. And it appears to me, that the move handles are still there, but at another position: see the video. 

I hope this can help in some way.

Edit: I'm working on two Win 10 PCs (I know - this post is in the macOS bug forum part 🙈)

It doesn't happen every time. It took me some clicks to get this effect working on this newly made file. (MacOS Monterey, Metal activated)

Hey again,

I opened up the file of @RM f/g and have the same problem (Win 10), so this is a file-persistent problem. However, what is interesting is, that the move tool position and rotation change after I deselect and reselect the same line. See the video:

Hi all,

Thank you for the reports, this sounds like an issue we are already aware of and it has been passed over to the devs for investigation. 

[MikeTO]

There are more reports in this other thread along with a screen recording I made showing the issue happens only with multi-page documents. It is unrelated to v1 documents and can be reproduced from scratch in v2.

AFAIK it only affects paths with 2 nodes connected by a straight line. If you add a node or extract a curve handle the problem goes away.

A simple workaround for now is to group the line after drawing it because the problem doesn't occur with a group.
