    Unhappy Beta_line bug.

    Bah!
    I cant seem to be able to change line width numerically in the beta.

    Bah!

    Hmm on further experimentation it does work but only if you specify the units. If you don't it assumes 'points' and then translates it into pixels (my page units)
    Bit of a backward step in the workflow that one. 5 pts (6.67pix) knocked off the score from this judge.

    That is really annoying.
    It is also time consuming ...
    "Intbel" ... "Can't" is not an option.

    Compliance is futile. Resistance is futile. Just do your own thing an' ignore 'em.

    Yep seems line width control has a number of rather too-obvious bugs. Will be fixed.

    Not a bug, more an omission perhaps. The new text tool is a fantastic improvement but could there not be the ability to have leaders for set tab positions so as to link items to prices for instance in a menu, (which I do a fair number of)
    Just a simple dotted line..................please.

    Please can we not have intelligent wrapping for objects in front of text? Surely this is a must for page layout???
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    I'm sure other people will ask for this. In the meantime, you can use guides and then delete them.

    Not sure how you can use guides as they would not print, I'm a talking about printable lines connecting one line of text to a defined tab stop as per the attached fragment.
    Vital for lists of many types, menus in particular. This was done in Xara but of course was fiddly, should be easier now but for the lack of leaders.
