Font size selection not applied

[Tiz]

The font size selector on the toolbar does not accurately reflect the size of text that is currently being edited or selected. Additionally if trying to resize text to the same size as the most recently sized text then the font size selector does not register that there is a change to be made - you have to select another font size and then change it back again.

Can you attach a sample SVG file with text that exposes this incorrect font size indication on the text toolbar?

> Additionally if trying to resize text to the same size

Do you mean using the transformations handles of the text object to scale the object? -> possibly the same issue as described in bug #586407

Attached is a screen capture of the effect I was describing - hope
it's clear - if not let me know...

Please attach a sample SVG file and a list of 'steps to reproduce' (when I try to view your video - it's just black, maybe because I'm not using Windows?).

Hi Tiz,

Could you please download and test a release candidate of our upcoming v0.48 release? It has many improvements in the text tool,

This has been copied from the release notes:

The text toolbar has been overhauled with many bug fixes and improvements. One can now directly access a number of text layout parameters:

    * "Line Spacing:" Distance between baselines of adjacent lines.
    * "Letter Spacing:" Spacing between letters.
    * "Word Spacing:" Spacing between words.
    * "Horizontal kerning"
    * "Vertical shift"
    * "Character rotation"

In addition, support has been added for superscripts and subscripts.

BTW, I've seen this behavior many times before too, but cannot currently reproduce this with our most recent code.

Apologies for not replying - I'm not ignoring you just very busy! Will try
and reproduce the error on other platforms and also download latest code
soon. Will let you know more soon.

Regards
Neil

You received this bug no...

Does this issue still occur with the latest stable release (currently 0.48.1)? If so, could you attach a sample SVG file and a list of 'steps to reproduce' to allow further investigation?

Hi

Yes! Seems to be resolved now.

Keep up the great work - awesome app!

Thank you for reporting back. Closing this bug as 'Fix released' - please feel free to reopen if the issue reoccurs with the latest stable version (if possible, attaching a sample SVG file with a text object to demonstrate the problem would be helpful for further investigations).
