bbwd Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 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. macOS 10.13.6, Publisher 1.7.0.283 Quote He never fails to achieve new heights in being stupid...

carl123 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 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. Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Nope, I hadn't done anything besides created the box and paste the text. Quote He never fails to achieve new heights in being stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbwd Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 I can't actually recreate the issue at the moment because it's random and happens when the application feels like.
