chris.bannu Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi, What is the difference between TEXT HEIGHT and LEADING OVERRIDE? And why don't 2 lines of text overlap when the text height/leding override is zero? It works very different from photoshop/fireworks. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 4, 2018 Staff Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi chris.bannu, can you please provide a screen shot of this as when I adjust the leading override to 4pt or below the text lines merge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.bannu Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi DWright, I understand the problem now, and it's not necessarily about the line height, but about pressing ENTER inside a frame text. For some reason, Affinity adds some space when pressing Enter in a frame, so the spacing between lines differ if a second line is created 1. automatically, when a second text line has to start, since there is not more space to fit the text on the first row or 2. when I press Enter to start a new line Is this normal, or is this a bug? And if it's not a bug, why is it behaving like this? In the screenshot I attached, the first text has 2 lines because I pressed Enter to break the line, and the second example has 2 lines because the frame text width was not big enough to hold both lines on a single line. But for both cases, Text Height and Leading Override are 0. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I may be misunderstanding what you want but pressing the Enter key starts a new paragraph, so if you want the paragraphs to overlap completely on top of each other, you need to set the paragraph leading, space after, & space before to zero in the Paragraph panel: Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.bannu Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hi R C-R, Yes, you understood perfectly, thank you kindly for your help, that was what I was looking for I really hope Affinity Designer will become the UI Design industry standard (at least). I just love it. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
