Gavin Anthony Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 This is a problem I have not been able to solve for many of the beta versions, and the issue appears random. If I have text in two connected text boxes and I enlarge the first text box to bring up text from the connected box below, the incoming text either increases dramatically eg from 9pt to 50pt as in the example below or if the text is pushed down to the lower box, the text size can decrease in size down to 1.5pt. This happens even if the text has been formatted to be exactly the same. Any thoughts?! Cheers!
mac_heibu Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 You are using the wrong handle! The outer handle right bottom of the text filed resizes the box and the text within. The inner handle directly in the bottom right edge resizes the text frame and not the text.
Gavin Anthony Posted April 18, 2019 Author Posted April 18, 2019 Actually, no! This happens when I use the centre handle, not the corner...!

Old Bruce Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 You may have different Paragraph Styles applied. Check which ones are applied with the text caret in the 'right' and 'wrong' sized text.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
walt.farrell Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 If you could provide a sample .afpub file that demonstrates the problem that would be helpful. I recall seeing a problem reported that involved the font size changing in some circumstances such as you're reporting, but I don't remember the exact scenario, nor whether Serif has determined the cause and released a fix, yet. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Will do this as soon as I find the next example. The only way I have been able to solve it so far is to copy the text from the lower box and paste it into the upper box—but definitely I cannot resize the boxes to move the text. Cheers!
