Drag to Resize Column hit testing incorrect

[Peter Werner]

I have a document with a few two-column text frames. On the left pages of two double spreads, the column resizing double arrow mouse cursor appears in the wrong spot, either two the left or to the right of the column gutter. On the right pages of the spreads, the hotspot is centered on the right column gutter guide (rather than the center of the gutter as one would expect).

The feature can still be used since the offset remains constant if the user clicks and drags. One just has to find the right spot inside the text where the phantom handle appears. In that area, clicking to place the text caret is not possible since the column resize behaviour "steals" the mouse events.

I have not tested if this is related to that particular document or not, but just in case, I have made a copy of the file where I encountered the bug that I can provide staff with if the issue cannot be reproduced otherwise.

I think this has been reported before, try doing a search of the forums.

Yes, I reported this earlier on another thread:

 Interestingly, the problem is (sort of) fixed in the new 1.7.2 beta FOR NEW TEXT FRAMES ONLY. Text frames created in earlier documents still have the "wandering" column adjusters. Thus, so far anyway, in the current beta 420, old text frames need to be replaced with new text frames to resolve the issue. Hopefully a newer beta will fix the problem with existing text frames already created.

My apologies, I must have used different wording when searching for existing threads. Thanks for the replies!
