Designer 2 - Text attributes are defaulting back after clicking out of layer

[tylerthehuman]

I don't know how to search this issue so i've yet to find anything online regarding this.

Sometimes when i change a setting, i click out of the layer and it reverts the setting back to default. In this example, I'm changing the baseline to a text shape. Every time i click out of the text to move on to something else, it completely reverts back to 0%. I cannot replicate it at the moment, but i've had this issue with other shapes where i edit the attributes of the shape and it reverts back to default when i click out..

 

wtf.

I’ve tried to replicate the issue in Designer 2.6.0 on Windows 10 and I’m not seeing a problem with it.

Have you tried changing the Baseline value by either typing the value or using the slider, rather than dragging the field title?

If so, do you have the same problem?

I can't duplicate it on macOS either, using both a trackpad and mouse. I've tried releasing over the text field, over the arrow, and outside the control.

I fiddled with it many times but I assume there could be a dead zone where releasing it doesn't apply the change. But it might be Windows specific so perhaps somebody on Windows should try to test with releasing at various points.

yes, i've tried multiple ways of adjusting the value.

it happens randomly. i'm sure if i close out the app and start over, it may work. been out of town since this post so i have not tried. i've had this issue randomly with other tools but the same functional problem (changing a value reverts).
