Text ruler :: Cursor position marker

[thomaso]

I might misinterpret the intention of the cursor position marker in a text ruler but since it does often occures with an offset, from tiny up to even out of my window, I assume it meanwhile to be a bug. It does not happen always but often. – Here some examples + the according .afpub to check:

 

 

The distance of the markers one to the other remains the same but with an offset:

The markers offset can become massive, both to the right or left of the frame/ruler:

 

Influence of frame width:

Hi thomaso

I can get that with your frames but if i add a new one it is fine. Are you simply getting this just typing the text or are you do things like resizing the text frames at all? I think something like this may be causing the offset

I've reported this to the development team

@Chris_K, good point. Yes, it apparently starts to happen only with a change of text frame size (regardless of I change by cursor or numerical).

When I set the frame size – after some changes – back to its initial values then the ruler marker and the text cursor marker have synchronous positions again.

I can reproduce this if I use any of the horizontal or diagonal resize handles except the one that resizes both the frame and the text at the same time.
