Aligning to right problem in type writer

[riad]

Hello
When after writing a text using Type Writer tool I align it to the write there is a strange behavior of the text box and need to readjust the text box.

Can you check and fix that

Hello riad,

Just to be sure that I am experiencing the same problem as you are - can you please confirm that when you try to use the align center/right the typewriter object is extended to the right boundary of the page - and the text is then centered/alligned right relative to this new larger typewriter object? This is a known issue and will be fixed in the next Editor build.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi Riad,

Thanks for the post - I believe that Stefan misread your post, as his response wasn't on topic. I will check with the Dev. Team on the status of the issue and will let you know as soon as I know more.

Our apologies for off-topic post too!

Cheers,

Hi Riad,

Thanks for the post - the Dev. Team are aware of this, as it's not a bug, but is the way that the current implementation of the tool works. This is to be treated as a feature request - but, nonetheless, a 'fix' should be released within the next few builds.

Cheers,

I'm still seeing this behavior in the recent update 5.308.2. Is there a timeline on when this will be corrected?

Thank you!

Hi HotCha21,

I will speak with the Devs. on this, then will get back to you.

Hi HotCha21,

Apologies for the delayed response - having spoken to the Dev. Team, they've told me that this is actually the intended behaviour of the typewriter tool and is the major difference between the typewriter and textbox tools. The typewriter tool does not have a pre-defined boundary and will not wrap until it hits the edge of the page, this is why the align to right feature works the way it does with the typewriter.

If you would like the align to right option to behave in a way you find more comfortable, the suggestion is to use the textbox instead.

Cheers,

Thank you for the information. It still seems to be a strange behavior and not one that has many uses. But I know I'm only seeing my side of it. Still enjoy the product a lot. Thank you once again!

I agree with @HotCha21: This behaviour is not what I'd expect, and is not the way Viewer worked. If you insert some text with the typewriter tool, and change that text to right aligned, then edit that text by adding a letter, the text will move to the right of the page. For large sheets, the effect can be that it will jump off the screen. Same problem with center aligned. It makes right aligned and center aligned useless for the typewriter tool. At very least, the text should stay where it was originally. At best, it should respect the margin on the aligned side (ie right aligned text should expand to the left).
