Updated Xara - problem with navigation bar
Hi,
I have just updated to the latest version of Xara Designer Pro X 16.1.0.56164 DL x64 Feb 14 2019
The navigation bar I had (hamburger menu) had to have invisible text, otherwise I could not create the menu.
Now the bars has vanished and all I can see, when previewing, is the "invisible" text and that does not show the menu when clicked on.
But, the pointer shows that there is a link.
So, is this a bug or what?
My client wants a hamburger menu and I need to make it look nice.
The page is not published as I need to have it fixed before publishing.

Olle, you have possibly fallen foul of the new Web Properties > Image > Group images setting.
Xara chose to default to separate images; most application users are finding the default ought to been the reverse.

Acorn - I have been having similar issues with a Mobile variant.
I finally said *&^%$#@!!! and made all the buttons actual bitmaps. A lot of work but what else can we do?
Re: Updated Xara - problem with navigation bar
Gary, the problem I have is I have not been using the Xara NavBars or making my own Hamburger icon. Were i to now, i might tackle it differently to how you made yours.
All I can suggest is an upload of your offending (offended) Hamburger NavBar for me to have a dig.

Acorn - I grouped the buttons which I added to a pop up layer. I selected the all objects one group option. The text changed to the linked color.
I can't upload the file because I took the time and redid the mobile variant with actual bitmaps for the buttons.
Re: Updated Xara - problem with navigation bar
Thanks for the help! But there is no Web Properties > Image > Group images setting in my Xara.
Where do I find it? The image settings in my Xara is the same as before where I could choose to pop up the image etc. But no "grouping".
When I installed the update I got a link to a page where I was (supposed) to find release notes. Hmm... (http://releasenotes.xara.hosting/designer-pro/) linked me to a page with old (versin 15) update info. Not good!

That is grayed out on my PC.
But when I ungrouped the menu it was possible to group.
The strange thing is that the menu appears when I preview "mobile-view", but the links does not work.
In "PC-preview" the menu vanished.
Back to the drawing board...
Re: Updated Xara - problem with navigation bar
I don't know what is wrong with this update.
Scrolling in preview mode is not working and trying to make those nav-bars (now not hamburger - just text and a box behind - does not work.
Is there a way to go back to the previous version?

Olle, sorry you are having these issues.
Do raise a Thread in Dear Xara, specifically asking for a link to v16.0.
