Summary0013776: Story Editor does not allow font-size changes above 1 pt at a time
DescriptionWhen I open story editor to change the size of a title text:

I highlight the text.
I click on the font size window to increase font size.
Highlighting on text is removed.
No matter how many points I increase the font size in the window it only increases the font size by 1 point.
Steps To ReproduceAs described.
Additional InformationI suffer pain and stiffness in my hands and wrist sometimes and this aggravates it. I don't think the program is supposed to act this way. I need to adjust size on titles and need a quick and easy way to do it. Help. Thank you.

You could scroll the mouse wheel, or if you hold the mouse button down it will scroll continuously too.

This has already been fixed in 1.4.7.svn as 0013688

I use a trackball. There is no scroll wheel to use to increase the number.

Holding down the bar to increase the point size does not work. It goes up one point per click period no matter how long I hold the bar down.

This issue is still not resolved.

This looks like a duplicate of 0013242

2 workarounds:

* Use the Property Panel or
* Type in the text editor the right size (if you know it)

CRW, the text highlighting issue has been already fixed in 1.4.7.svn. Consequently text size can be changed again without the 1pt limit using scroll wheel. No idea how a trackball behaves here. However in any case this is an already known issue, not 0013242 like Kunda mentionned it, but 0013535.

I thank you for your responses. I remain confused on two accounts:

The size adjustment buttons for the fonts size box will not autoscroll when I hold them down. It remains 1 pt. per click on adjustment.

It does not work to type in the font size I wish for that text box and then input text. It reverts to the pre-set font size.

I cannot see a way to adjust font size for an isolated/individual text box the way it is working now. I am looking into getting a trackball with a scroll wheel to see if that will allow such adjustment. Until then, it remains sometimes actually painful trying to set up a title box that is different from the standard text in the document.

"It does not work to type in the font size I wish for that text box and then input text. It reverts to the pre-set font size."
And font.

But you can mark the text in the text editor, then change size by typing in the correct size.
Just a workaround...

This is already covered by issue 0013535.

This must be done by using property palette.
