Text bug or settings problem ? Font size change on paste

[Cosmin Ghioanca]

Hello guys. Got an annoying problem here. I copy text from one box and I paste it into a different one. No big deal, but this one changes font size after it was pasted into the second box. The second size is arbitrary, usually at a higher size. For example the original font size is 1,500 mm and after it was pasted goes to 1,5796 mm.

PS I've noticed that it is influenced by the zoom. Do you know where can I look into making some changes. I need the program to preserve the original settings.

Thank you all and have a nice one.

Get the Mac. Actually ArchiCAD always working better on Mac.

DEF-3928 - This problem persists! I have no hope that this will be resolved! Archicad24 - 2022! really!?

Still a constantly-occurring problem. Anything this consistent in a program would be labelled a "feature."

What Archicad version and build are you using?

I just tried in 25 build 6000 and 26 build 4019.

I copied some text, zoomed in out, panned and then pasted into another text block, and it was exactly the same size.

Hi Barry, sorry to bump two posts. (again)

26.3001 US, Windows 10

Below is my copy / pasted reply -- at the same font size! 😜 -- to another thread on this topic:

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Document-Visualize-forum/Pasted-text-changes-size/m-p/373095#M56...

Just tested again, as now i'm not sure i'm actually experiencing the same bug. Zoom/pan isn't necessary to cause it on my end. I pasted text in the same text box, after hitting enter, and it's 0.19 Pt larger. After pasting, i hit enter and continued to type: new text is also 0.19 Pt larger. That text, copy/pasted, (line 4) remained at 6.19 Pt.

(Could be related to leading / line spacing? Not for me to figure out until Graphisoft starts paying me~)

Tried again; this time at a different original size. (7.00 Pt) This time the text was pasted 0.08 Pt smaller. After hitting enter, new text on the next line was back to 7.00 Pt. The third line of text copy / pasted was 0.08 Pt smaller again.

Hi,

I also want to bump this and say we are still experiencing this issue as well.

Currently using Archicad 26 5002 SWE FULL, Windows 10 Pro.

Copying a text without zooming changed the font size slightly on a layout. It does not happen every time we copy, it almost seems random...

Not sure if it matters but we are using millimeter "SWE standard" for dimensions and coordinates and therefore also for setting size for fonts.

Cheers!

Still present AC26 7004 NZ FULL

A painful bug!

To edit my post to contain more information than emotion.... even when moving text inside a textbox with highlight&drag the font size changes... ctrlC ctrlV not even required to trigger the change in font size.

I have just noticed that this bug has returned in AC27 5060. I remember it from a few versions/years back. 

Copy text from one note, zoom out, and paste text into another note. Text has changed size.

It was really annoying last time around too. Got fixed at one stage, im sure.

Just installed the latest update to AC27 6000, and the text size is still changing when copied and pasted. 

2.5mm text becomes 2.44mm when pasted 10mm becomes 10.03mm when pasted. No zooming required to make this happen.
