Break characters & deletion

[Sim2]

Hallo,

Using 1.7.0.145 on El Cap/MacBook

Added 'frame break' characters into text boxes with text flow running, worked like a treat... except when deciding one wasn't such a good idea I couldn't delete the break character. Could delete a text character prior to and post the break character itself but the break frame character remained elusive and could not be deleted. Work around(ed) with another text frame immediately after but not great.

Am I doing something wrong to remove or delete a break frame text character?

btw. liking being able to drop new text frames into an existing text flow - so easy!

Turn on Text > Show Special Characters and then zoom in and you can see and select the arrow.

This is not necessary though so you may have something else happening.

Yeah, that was what I was doing to see where the character was. However... *plot thickens*

I went back to the actual document, popped a couple of new text frames with flowing text & the famed break frame character. Hurrah, on 'body' text I could delete ok, highlight then delete etc. Just the way I expected. Job done!

If the text following the break frame character is a list item, I can only select then delete the character by; cursor before the character, uppershift and right arrow across the character – then it highlights & can be deleted. Place the cursor either side of the character and delete key (in either direction) has no effect. Odd. At least I have a way to delete them, if not the obviuos expected route! Thanks.

Hi Sim2

You should be able to delete these as simply as you can delete a standard paragraph return so i shall pass it on to the development team

Cheers
