Cannot edit text block

[Acorn]

This one is driving me crazy now. It’s happening on all my files, and a lot. Again, editing text in a soft group. I constantly am sending the issue to Xara. @acorn will running the Cambridge32.exe completely solve this problem?

Bill, i don't know as I'm not on your system.

Ctrl-click on the Text then press T.

I can get Xara to throw the exception at will. Running the cambrdige32.exe as administrator doesn't solve the issue, but killing cambridge32 in Task Manager (Details) allows me to carry on right-clicking to my hearts content for the rest of the session.

Create a text box, add a shadow, right-click the text box...

you can set cambridge32.exe to always run as administrator [and xara too for that matter] - no idea if it would help, but you have that option

EDIT - cross posted with chris

@xara @matt along with Neil did respond to my problem.

Best practice is that soft groups are best used when selecting elements across layers. That’s why soft groups were developed.

Best practice is Groups when elements are on the same layer.

I tend to have groupings that I can shift replacing other groups that are time sensitive. I was using soft groups for this material.

Thanks Xara.
