db1844 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I Created a callout, added some text inside. Now, in the layer-panel, its called: (shape Text). stroke color and background color can not be changed anymore (from orange, to something else), even the callout options are still available. For me, it seems to be a bug. See scrrenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi db1844, It's not currently possible in AD, however, you can do it in APub using the Text Frame option which you will find under View > Studio. Once created you can then copy and paste it into Designer where you can continue to edit the text but you won't be able to change the background colour directly within AD.

db1844 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Oh no, sorry. I chose the wrong forum. Can I delete this bug--request, and open it in Publisher again ? (Sorry. I am mean in Publisher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 As it can be achieved directly in Publisher, it isn't a bug so I don't think there is any need to post in the Publisher Bug Forum.

db1844 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Thanks for your comment. As mentioned, i worked with pub. Did you care about this field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Your screenshots seem to be showing Designer as the active application from Studio Link within Publisher. The Fill option with Designer won't give you a background fill on a Shape Text box but if you are working in Publisher itself then you can achieve this using the Text Frame panel and selecting Fill from there... db1844 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 Affinity Designer Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.0 (2402) | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.5.0 (2402) Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.7.4, Magic Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1844 Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 How amazing is that. You solved that problem! Logically, i didn't get it, why the callout panel is not working. But whatever. Text-Frame-Box was not showing up. So newbies have to dig deep, to find the solution. Thanks for that awesome forum support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
