Show/Hide Fill with Content button doesn't show state


Recommended Posts

This is the tiniest of things. The Show/Hide Fill with Content button in the Context Toolbar (when a picture frame is selected) doesn't show state when it's selected. The other three buttons it's grouped with (Replace Image, Properties, and Size Picture Frame to Content) are action buttons but this one is a attribute toggle so it should show state like some of the text attribute buttons (bold, italic, right align, bulleted list...)

If you mean this one: image.png.303e27c8f818ef476340f67883c97281.pngthen I'm curious whether you actually named it correctly. On Windows, it's Clear Fill on Populate (and it shows as selected or not).

That's the one but it was renamed in v2 to Show/Hide Fill with Content, see the help page below. The v1 help has the old name so it looks like the tooltip for Windows wasn't updated.

As for showing state, I'm working in light mode and since you said it shows state on Windows I checked dark mode on macOS and that shows state so this is another light mode issue.

I switched to light mode when I started writing my manual due to screenshots working better in light mode. It seemed very retro at first but now I find dark mode too gloomy.
