Edit Text Window

Does anybody notice anything strange about the Edit Text Window?  The Crazy Horse South Dakota text is selected.  Maybe I've just been staring at the monitor to long today.

  • In case it might not be evident in the screenshot, the text is upside down in the Edit Window.  There is also no way to edit it because the cursor is way to the right and acts like it is moving over characters one at a time, but there is only white space over there.

    PS.  I’ve had enough and am going home.  Have a nice weekend, see you Monday.  It’s supposed to be sunny and in the 50’s here tomorrow.

     

    •  ..what the.....

       Does this happen with all text? Is this new text or text from V9?

      • Tony, I've played around with this a little today and here is what seems to be causing the upside down display.  A while back someone asked what happened to the "place on other side" icon and one of the replies was to just use the mirror horizontally and vertically icons to place the text on the other side of the line.  Even though I found the buried "place on other side" icon and added it to my property bar, I started using the mirror icons.  It seems if you use this method instead of the "place on other side" icon, the text in the Edit Text window is upside down.  Also, if the text has no justification, the text is moved so far to the left of the window, it doesn't display.  Center justification make it display in the center of the window, albeit, upside down.  I didn't play with the other justifications to see what happens but from now on I'll be using my "place on other side" icon.John
        • And this is happening in X3, also.

          It seems that the text edit box is reflecting the fact that the selected text is mirrored vertically and mirrored horizontally.
