Curious case of the indent that won't change

Hello

Odd situation: when I try to change the indent value (either First, Left or Right) of a text field, using Inspector, the value reverts to what it was before the change. I simply cannot make the change stick,

Anyone every come across this before? I can get round the problem by using Format Painter, but it's baffling me!

I'm using FPro 11, on OSX 10.7.2, with files hosted online, if that makes any difference.

Press the Tab key after entering the value into the inspector, or click into another value box.

Hi Vaughan

Well that's the odd thing. If I press the tab key, or I click in another box, that's when the value reverts to what it was before. :idot:

By any chance, is the default set to inch instead of px? If this is incorrectly set to inch then the value is too large and FM will revert to the prior without warning. Inspector > Position tab and click the px/in/cm on the far right.

Hi LaRetta

Thanks for taking an interest. No, the default wasn't se to inches. It was set to cm, but i tried changing to px, and the problem is still there.

Copy that field, paste it into a new file and try it. If it still breaks, zip and post the file. You can also try running recover on a copy of the file and see if it shows corruption or fixes it. Never use a recovered file. If it shows corruption, migrate your data into good clean clone. But I'd still love to see that field.

Hi Laretta

The problem occurs on all fields in all of my files (as far as I can tell). I've tried it on:

- Files hosted locally, and files hosted online

- Using keyboard on Macbook and using separate keyboard

In order to send you the file, should I save a copy with no records and attach it to a Post on this forum, or use some other method?
