vertical typing

Post by calbear »

Sometimes when I press the "enter/return" button, the text starts to type vertically and the textbox becomes very big very quickly (not to mention I can't follow what i'm typing). Has anyone else experienced this?

Never noticed this. It sounds like a stuck "enter" key. That I do see sometimes with my cheap keyboard.

calbear,

If you can reproduce the problem please take a screenshot and zip attach it here, or tell us how we can try the same - or check what Bhikkhu suggested - that it is not a stuck enter key ;)

Regards,
Stefan

Happened again, but this time i just used a "-"

notice how the text suddenly moves in a vertical style after i made some comments after "better understanding by doctor and patient"

Hi Calbear,

is that the Typewriter Tool or the Textbox Tool with no border? The latter is bound by the box you draw and if you only define a short box initially as you type it will only expand the box down as you enter more and more text.

just a though
Best regards

Hi Calbear,

Please make sure you are using the latest build (2.0.49)
And then please do attach the original file - or just this page to this topic so we can have a look at it as well, as screenshots are helpful but having the actual file is even better :)

Best,
Stefan
