[solved] text tool issue

Post by cccplex » Tue Jan 05, 2021 1:50 pm

Hi, I have an issue with the text tool where switching font height sometimes makes qcad unresponsive for a few minutes.
I described the issue in a the bugtracker.
Such bugs are probably difficult to resolve and/or system dependent.
Can someone reproduce this? See the steps in my last comment listed in the bug.

Thanks for checking. To be sure, by local font-height I mean the input box at top middle of the text tool window. Because in your screenshot is reversed from mine. :wink:

Tried both ...
Shot is from the second trial to show the text is in the preview (and still selected blue/white).

Never understood why the the text preview has a fixed scale.

Similar as the preview of a hatch has a fixed scale but doesn't scale what is previewed.
With text it does

So,
3 methods work fine:
- both in the texteditor
- presetting the props and altering in the texteditor.
that make up a large set of combinations and none had any lag. :)

Very recent there was a topic about less threads may be more ... :wink:

CVH

Well, I spent a lot of time testing this and now my only option left is to reinstall the OS. Too bad I can not pinpoint the issue.

edit: After reinstall the problem was gone.
