Cannot create vertical or horizontal guidelines by dragging from the ruler while editing text comments or content

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

With the rulers and guidelines enabled, I have noticed that while editing text comments (typewriters, text boxes, callouts) or base content text, i.e., when the text cursor is blinking, you cannot create a guideline.

Specifically, when you try to create a horizontal or vertical guideline by dragging from the ruler, the mouse cursor just changes and you cannot create the guideline. However, somehow, when dragging from the origin, you can create both horizontal and vertical guidelines at the same time. I am reporting this because the inconsistent behavior could possibly be unintended by the developer.

    The capture software used (ScreenToGif) displays a yellow circle around the mouse cursor when the left mouse button is clicked.
Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Best regards,
rakunavi

Hello, rakunavi

Thank you for the report, I have reproduced the issues reported here, and passed them up to the Dev team.

[Edit]
Devs have just confirmed this will be fixed for the next release (397)
