sportyguy209 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hello: This may be a bug or just an oversight. If there is type in a paragraph that is say, 34 pts. And, you replace a word with a different size type, say 14 pts, and you select all, typically you would expect to see nothing for the type size (because there are two different sizes selected), but AD displays 34 pts for all. Screenshot attached... Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted September 3, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi sportyguy209, Thanks for letting us know. This seems to be working with the context toolbar (your screenshot doesn't show this as there are no objects selected), but not with the Character Panel. I'll get this passed on to development. sportyguy209 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportyguy209 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 You're right. It works for me in the context toolbar too. Didn't think of checking that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 As I see it (on Windows) if the text is selected then both the Context Toolbar and Character panel have blank for the point size when there are multiples. But when no text is selected (as in the screenshot in the first post in this topic) the value displayed is the last value set, or the value at the position of the text cursor. And that is also true for both the Context Toolbar and the Character panel.

That is indeed true. The issue sportyguy209 is having is specific to macOS, Windows is behaving itself. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the whole box is selected (no cursor placed) here, but perhaps Serif simply forgot to update the values. Not really a problem.

Not really a problem. Try it with the text selected, not just the text frame. If there's no text selected, then the panels and Context Toolbar just (correctly) show the last-used values, I believe.

However, today it's the last size you used in the text frame, and is also the beginning size for the next text frame you draw. If it were blank you wouldn't know what the size for the next frame will be.

You will not start with the displayed 7.6 pt. So it does not make sense that (the last used size) is displayed. It can cause users to mistakenly use wrong sizes.

OK; that's how it worked for me, so something is different in your file or the sequence of actions you took. Thanks.
