Hi @JamesA, Possibly a silly question but how are you attempting to edit the gradient fill?

Is this with the Move tool or the Gradient tool selected at the point of editing the gradient?

Hangman Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Try it when you have the Gradient tool selected, does that give you what you need?

I ask because I saw something similar the other day, not specific to gradients but when doing something else and it sounds possibly like a regression of an earlier reported issue...

JamesA Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 ok - could be a screen redraw thing - i'm on a dual monitor setup so that's probably not helping much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted March 20 Staff Share Posted March 20 Hi @JamesA, Thanks for your report! 17 hours ago, JamesA said: Select an object then edit the gradient fill - the selection handles then disappear on everything. This is expected behaviour when editing a Gradient, the bounding box will not be shown for the object the gradient is applied to. After editing the Gradient, switch back to the Move Tool (V) and you will see the bounding box for the object return. If you're still having trouble here, a screen recording showing your exact steps would help our team to assist further Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
