Can't delete note


Recommended Posts

This is the most minor bug ever but I'm reporting it in case it impacts something more important..

Draw a text frame. Create a note. Select all in the text frame (which will select just the note marker). Press Delete. It will not delete the note marker.

Hi @MikeTO,

I assume you are referring to selecting the text in the note itself rather than selecting the main text where the note marker was initially inserted.

If so then I would say this is expected behaviour because until you delete the note marker from the main text body, the note assumes you still want the note and will add or edit the note text. The note marker in the note will only be removed if deleted in the main body text where it was first inserted.

If you are referring to selecting the main body text itself and hitting delete, then I'm not seeing this, for me, doing so deletes, foot, side and endnotes...

No, I mean in the main text frame. If the text frame contains nothing but the note marker, using Select All will select it but Delete won't delete it. You have to delete it when it's not selected.
