Click & Drag On Icons in the Paragraph Panel Doesn’t Work as Expected


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

Is this intended behaviour? Seems a bit off to me.

Current Behaviour:

  • Click & Drag only works for one Spacing option – however it changes the wrong value.
  • Click & Drag the icon in front of Space Before Paragraph changes the value for First Line Indent!
  • Click & Drag on any other icon in the Spacing section doesn’t do anything. Strangely enough, not even the First Line Indent icon itself is active for this.

Expectation:

  • Either Click & Drag on an icon while dragging it left/right will change the value for that icon, or
  • … Click & Drag on icons is generally disabled.

I haven't tested it in beta.

Cheers
Dennis

Hi @Mr. Doodlezz,

This is clearly a bug, there are several other instances in the UI that demonstrate similar behaviours, i.e., where dragging a specific label changes the values for a completely different field, e.g., a similar thing happens in the Colour Chooser panel.

I'm unsure if this specific instance has already been logged but one of the moderation team will be able to confirm and if not it will be logged accordingly...

I can replicate this issue on my intel mac. there are several icons, which surprisingly do not react on click-drag but especially the one where the wrong value changes...

Does this maybe have to do with undocked panels? In the past there were (and iirc still is) inconsistencies with the <tab> order when undocked, for example...

see video:

  • Display setup: 28" 5k Display (primary) + 21,5" iMac4k-Display for studio panels (secondary);
  • Keyboard layout: german apple extended keyboard (aluminium);

Hi Mr. Doodlezz,

Which OS are you running, I'm unable to recreate this on Publisher 2.0.4.61 on Ventura 13.2.1 (M1).

Hey @Lee_T,

thanks for testing. I'm running V2.1.0, the latest official release/update on 13.3.1 (a) (22E772610a).

Thanks for the demonstration and testing other options! Seems like coding started but wasn't completed properly?
