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.

Unfortunately I do not know any more that any one else that is not part of Graphisoft.

Like you I am just a regular user of Archicad, except I have moderation privileges on this forum.

 

I, along with many other members here, am also part of the 'Insider' group, so we do have a little more knowledge of what is going to happen and we have the opportunity to discuss that with Graphisoft.

But what is mentioned in the Insiders group is to remain in the Insiders group and is not for general discussion.

Applications are closed at the moment.

 

 

I too was affected by this bug just the other day.

It is only a very small change, but it is annoying.

I think the bug when copying text then zooming and pasting affected the size more, may have been fixed.

But this is just copying text within the same edit dialogue.

 

Here is a test I just did in version 28.

My guess was that it is converting to the closest point size or fraction of a point size, but that is not correct.

I will report this directly to Graphisoft as a bug, I suggest that all those affected also contact they local support and do the same thing.

I was thinking along the lines of someone storing the values as rounded fractional inches, which is a bit closer, but I do not believe is the case either...
