Trying to select a font size in a textbox, but when I start up the table, the font size has reverted to the default size.

 

Not sure why this is happening.

It's a bit tricky to change the font size,
we must insist on putting the value back several times,

it seems to me that it is a long-standing problem, if you want to report it in the VP 10.6 beta thread.

I reported a different textbox problem a while back. I am confident the devs will take a look at textboxes and see what can be improved/fixed.

Trying to select a font size in a textbox, but when I start up the table, the font size has reverted to the default size.

 

Try this: Delete the text box, then undo the deletion, now set the font size again. Now the text box should keep the font size of your choice.

Weird, it actually took this time before I got ready to implement you suggestion Albert. I am going to keep your suggestion in mind just in case. :D

I just changed to a new 4k monitor today & am using a 3840 x 2160 resolution and on some tables the fonts on the text boxes need to be reduced and i have tried everything and cannot change them, any ideas? thanks

Yes, textboxes can get messed up in 4K..  I believe they also grab your Windows Font Scaling setting.   It is best to switch them to reels.

Thanks for your reply, I noticed that in ALL tables they are set at 36 & you cannot change them in the editor. Bummer!!!!!

However, I was blown away how GREAT the tables look in 4k.
