Drag-scaling text element does not change displayed point size

Gremriel

To chime in, I'm seeing the same. Create a Lorem Ipsum, scale with the Transform Tool, and the fontsize stays at 12pt.

Edit: nvm, I saw it stay at 12pt at first, but when I tried again, the pointsize changed.

Thanks, @vectoradmin

@Gremriel , You bring up a good pot in that it doesn't seem to be completely consistent in how it behaves. Usually, if I change the default 12pt Lorem ipsum to another point size in the Character panel first, and then scale with the tRansform Tool, the character panel will correctly update it's number accordingly. but not always. Weird.

Hi,

Yes, the first time I place a Lorem Ipsum and scale it, the value stays at 12pt. If I then change the value, every Lorem is then placed with the value I specified, like when you assign a color to a shape, all other new shapes inherit that color.

But it seems VS is getting lost at what value I assign to text at times. In this image, both Lorems are 10pt, according to VS:

The bottom Lorem was scaled up randomly, then I set it to 10pt. The top Lorem is the correct 10pt.

Confirmed! Thank you @vectoradmin! I'm seeing a new odd behavior now, however. After I place the initial text object, then scale, The Character panel changes from the Default Times New Roman to Arial but the font itself doesn't change. See attached. alt text

Hi,

I still see a scaled up text display as 12pt in the latest update.

@Gremriel regression, it changes the character scaling instead. will be fixed.
