klee Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 I've installed v 2.5.5 - now text highlighting does not hold, requiring multiple highlighting attempts. What's wrong? Also, the move tools does not work consistently; clicking the move button eliminates the ruler but clicking on the text brings the text ruler back and does not allow me to move my text frame. Quote
walt.farrell Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean be either of those. Can you provide a screen recording showing each, please? Please make sure to include the complete application window in the recording.

MikeTO Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 (edited) You can move a text object with the Frame Text tool, Art Text tool, Move tool, and even shape tools. If you have the text ruler visible you will not be able to drag the text object from its top border when using the Frame Text or Art Text tools. But you can drag it from any other border, or drag it from the top border with a text tool. If the Move tool is selected, you can drag anywhere on a text object to drag it. If you double-click with the Move tool, it will switch automatically to the Frame Text tool for text editing. Ensure you are not selecting the Node tool.
