Yes thanks.

I am noticing it on other old drawings too, it is kind of strange to use such a long text box, I agree (not my original drawing).  I cut and paste anything I possibly can,  so subsequently, as you suggest, never create a long text box.

Twittering, 100 characters huh?  still haven't discovered the joy of Twittering, maybe when I have nothing to do, but then how do you the answer the question in an interesting fashion?  uh, nothing, typing?

Hi Linda,

Thanks for posting the file.  You have some very, very long text fields and the phenomenon manifests itself when a single text field exceeds 240 characters.

Assume that application has a limit of 240 characters per text object - that's still quite a lot, 100 more than Twitter! - and if you need multiline line text, break it down into smaller chunks.  I notice that your multiline text on each occasion is actually a numbered list, and the longest line is 46 characters: I think you'd find it easier to create and edit this text if you, for instance, used Paste Array to create all the lines you need and then you can edit each line without having to edit a giant text object that is ALL of the lines.

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,

I am trying to edit some text on a drawing that was created before 2005.  The text box gets to a certain quanitity of characters and then starts flipping and appearing backwards.  I tried starting another text box, with new text (rather than just editing what is there) and it did the same thing.  Is there a text box size limiting value?   So after a couple lines of normal text, I get to a point say, if I type "OUT" it appears at the top of the text box (rather than bottom)  as "TUO".

Any thoughts?  sthguoht ynA

I would upload it for you, but this interface won't let me upload a stardraw extension.  I don't think a pdf would be useful.

Thanks,

Linda
