Unable to resize marker text box after initial customization?? (SL2)
I confirm that this is still an issue, I spent a while this morning trying to drag marker pop outs to new shapes.
I have attached triggers to the markers that make other things appear and disappear on the slide and I didn't want to have to redo the triggers after deleting and reinserting the marker.
Here is what I did to edit the markers:
- Click on the marker
- Under Marker Tools click "Format"
- Click "Change Icon"
- Change the marker to any other icon
- Resize the pop out as desired
- Change the marker back to the original
This appears to not work every time, I had to follow the above steps multiple times for a couple of edits.
Markers are very handy. However, this limitation has led me to not use them much. But I have a project going now where they are the best solution, so I spent some time playing with them.
Hi John,
This looks like an issue that keeps popping up for some users so I'd like to check if specific formatting options done to a marker are what causes the behavior to appear. On my end, I tried replicating it on a new project file, but I was unable to get the small white boxes to disappear with a marker that had basic formatting applied to it.
Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can take a closer look at what's happening? We'll delete it when we're done testing!
I just submitted a case.
