tonyrambler Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm getting an issue on Designer 1.5.4 where editable text, either artistic or frame text, will suddenly become a group of vector shapes and is no longer editable as text. I can't work out what is causing this to happen. If I notice in time I can sometimes undo until it changes back but sometimes that's not possible for some reason (maybe a save? Not sure). Thanks, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 13, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi Tony, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Are you pressing ⌘ (cmd) + Enter with the text object selected? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyrambler Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 aha… That must be it. I was using it as a way to escape the editing and keep the changes (like it does in Photoshop) which it appeared to do and didn't notice that it was doing more than just popping me out of the edit. Thanks. Is there a purely keyboard way to get out of a text edit and keep the changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The ESC key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The ESC key? Alternatively, just choose another tool. Text edits in Affinity are applied immediately, so there's no need to do anything special to 'commit' them.

tonyrambler Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 The ESC key. I was thinking I'd tried that and it didn't apply the edit but yes, you're right. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
