AD:unknown outline appears around a text


Recommended Posts

Dear team,

 
Though I had been using Fireworks for 15 years, I've just decided to switch to AD. I love it so much and I'm very looking forward to symbol and previewing for export image. Please keep on.
 
BTW, I'm aware unknown purple outline appears around a first letter when I type the text on the canvas. Is this a known behavior? If it were to be a bug, I'll log it to Bug form.

I think what you are seeing is the result of having snapping turned on & Show Snapping Candidates enabled. See for example the "weird outlines on vector shapes" topic for more about this.

I have never understood the value of showing these snapping candidate outlines while entering text in a text frame or as art text. If you have snap to object bounding boxes enabled, & particularly if the include bound box mid points option is too, moving the pointer around in the bounding box causes distracting & as far as I can tell useless 'candidate' lines to appear, as well as the outline around the first character.
