Text frame with rounded corners follows rounding even though it doesn't need to

[kentsor]

Perhaps this falls under the category of "works as designed" but it's not what I was aiming for. I just want a text frame with rounded edges and a square text block, the text is inset plenty, there's no need for enveloping it in the shape of the frame. The rounded text frame started as a rectangle with rounded edges, then I converted to a text frame.

Anything that can be done, or should I just keep the transparent background as a rounded rectangle and place a regular text frame on top ?

As far as I know, you will need to use a separate text frame to achieve what you want.

Well, it can be faked somewhat. Add a blank paragraph above your text. Then adjust/readjust the inset(s).

That behavior does seem a little odd, though. (And it works the same way on Windows.)

Hi all,

That's not possible yet.

 @MikeW's suggestion would be the best solution for now. 

Thanks,

Gabe.
