Bug Report: Changing color in text leader resets font style and size

Anonymous — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:21:41 GMT

Steps to recreate the issue:

1) Start a new text box or text leader in a drawing

2) Before typing change the font style and size (e.g. change to 0.120 text height and select bold style)

3) Now change the color-->Notice the text size and style are reset to the default

Work around: First type text, then highlight it and change the color, the font size and style stay as selected.

However, the issue should be fixed.

I have had the same issue. I think that it was this way in the last version also.

Same. This seems like a pretty basic fix that has just been neglected. Very annoying.

Hi! I believe this is a bug indeed. I will follow up with the project team to understand it better. There is an explanation to the behavior. In general, drawing text is driven by Text Style. Any change to the actual text is limited to the specific text object. If you want to change the "default", you need to change the Text Style.

Many thanks!
