Text Frame Inset Spinner KB Increment Bug


Recommended Posts

When I tried to incrementally increase the inset of a text frame by clicking in the inset spinner field value and hitting the up-arrow key, the first keystroke does what it's supposed to do (increase the spinner value), but then the focus immediately changes to the text cursor in the text frame itself leaving me without the ability to subsequently up-arrow the next incremental value of inset.  This forces me to move the mouse to click again into the inset field spinner to up-arrow the second time.  Obviously, this is a bug as no spinner field allowing arrow-key increment would change focus on the first keystroke.

The focus needs to stick to the input field until the user explicitly TAB-out or mouse-out.

It sort of works for me. I can get the numbers to increase using the arrow keys and with the arrow keys and the shift for larger increases. The fun starts when decreasing the inset. The down arrow key stops at .07, .14, .28 and .56 then if I try to increase it will only go up by 0.01 and gets stuck. Shift and up or down arrow key will kick the value up or down to the nearer tenth. Oh and tabbing from one field to the next doesn't work, you just exit the field.

 

Plus the fields for the Columns section are as you describe.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

it only seems to happen when the panels are docked!

Now that is a bug I can admire. [awe-struck emoticon]
