The text editor is erratically changing the font. This should be easy to reproduce as long as you have a few text styles in your drawing. I originally thought it was just changing back to whatever font was applied to the annotation style. But it just changed it to Arial on me.
It will do it in many situations but one of the more consistent occurrences is when you delete existing text so that the text editor is empty.
This is another issue that’s killing me not only because the time it’s costing but also because it’s a regression. I’ve learnt to live with a simple text editor, but simple and extremely buggy is unacceptable. Especially given that it’s worse than it was in R7.
Hey Keith, why not make sure it is easy by exporting a piece of text where this happens to you into a new 3dm file and posting it here. There’s no great incentive for us to spend an unpredictable amount of time attempting to get to first base when we could be doing something more useful for ourselves…
Both good ideas and I’ll make a video when I have time.
100% agree. But this is more a bug report and not something a user should be spending time on. Sometimes someone will know a work around. I had an issue with my leaders for example, and found out that if I scale them a certain way it avoids the bug/issue. What I mean is that when posting this I’m not really expected anyone to spend time on it (not a user that is) but maybe someone has a solution or work-around.
Lately what I’ve been doing is posting something just to see a couple things: Is it just me or are other people experiencing the same thing, and will McNeel even care about it. Certain things are getting ignored I’ve figured that much out.
This year alone I’ve spent at least 100 hours (no joke!!) dealing with bugs. I wasn’t logging my time and was just ‘rolling with the punches’, a term I’ve been wearing out lately.
