Speech callout shape - cannot adjust callout after rotation

Jan 28, 2022

Hi everyone, I am having an issue where if I use a speech callout shape and then rotate it so that the lines are at the top or the bottom of the shape (rather than to the left or right) the callout then pretty much locks itself to adjustments. I can't change where the lines are pointing to, or are in relation to the text of the callout, and I can't change its dimensions. These issues disappear once I change the rotation back to the typical left/right.

Does anyone know why this is and if there is a fix?

Thanks!

Hi, Lyn.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing!

We have a bug reported where you're unable to adjust the end line of Line Callouts when rotated.

The current workaround is to insert a line shape manually. I've connected this discussion to the bug report, and I'll be sure to come back to update you when I have some news.
