Frame text tool box handles


Recommended Posts

Why do text boxes created using the Frame Text Tool sometimes have the resize handle on it and sometimes not?

I can resize the Frame with the handle in two ways. Using the extra handle, it resizes box and text. Using the corner handle it just does the box and not the text. The Frame without the extra handle will only resize box and text. This behaviour, I assume, is the expected way it works but what I want to know is why the extra handle sometimes appears and sometimes not.

The text in both was copied from a text clipping and then pasted into the box.

It looks like the bottom frame is not a text frame.

I can assure you it is a text frame.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

Art Text does not have the extra handle, only Frame Text has this.

If the text is still editable, check in the Layer Panel what sort of text layer it is.

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

It wasn't Art Text. I can't check it now as I've deleted it because it was annoying the hell out of me. Sorry!

I can't actually recreate the issue at the moment because it's random and happens when the application feels like.

Shame you deleted it then, as now we will never know

Next time save a copy of the document and upload it here

Yeah I will. Annoyed with myself for doing it to be honest but I will remember next time.
