Regression in positioning code should be fixed by git commit 8ef3f13fbb

That's working fine now, thanks for the quick fix.

The problem with the RichText Editor is fixed. But still, there are problems with the DrawLeaderLine: the arrow does not move when there is an edition, and the changes are lost when you close the page.

There are a couple of things going on here.
1) it doesn't like having the point where the line connects to the View changed. I have to fix that.
2) the button "escape edit" is meant to exit without saving. I've been using RMB to save and exit. I'll fix that so there is 1 button for "save changes" and another for "discard changes".

Once again, thanks for testing. It is a huge help to me.

Hi. Thanks for fixing them and for your hard work. However, I detected two problems:

1) If you change the position of the start symbol point, the "Discard Changes" button does not work as expected.
2) Tick symbol is shown in a large size.

Discard Changes button problem:

Should be fixed by git commit 74737f71fd and git commit be257182ba.

Thanks for testing.

Good. I confirm they were fixed.

I found two more things for LeaderLine.
1) In the property table, the option "Caption". If I write something, nothing happens. What is its function?
2) In the property table, the option "Scalable". If I change it to "True", the leaderLine does not scale when I scale the View parent. It disappears.

There is a problem with the RichTextAnno again. The format change when I select texts in the window. Better an animation:

1) In the property table, the option "Caption". If I write something, nothing happens. What is its function?

Caption doesn't really apply to Leaders (or Dimensions, Balloons, etc). It is used to add a small bit of text to a View that remains on the page when frames are hidden. Hiding this property for the objects where it doesn't make sense is on my list.

2) In the property table, the option "Scalable". If I change it to "True", the leaderLine does not scale when I scale the View parent. It disappears.

I suspect that it didn't disappear, but moved to somewhere off the page. I haven't spent much time on scaling the leader as I wasn't sure if it made sense. Better get on that.

Maybe borrowing that code wasn't such a good idea. I'll take a look at it.

1) should be fixed by:
commit 0c429e3bc6 Fix regression in Caption handling
commit 71a095360a Hide Caption property where not applicable

2) having trouble with repeatability on this one. It seems to work most of the time, but I can't find the pattern for the failures.

2) having trouble with repeatability on this one. It seems to work most of the time, but I can't find the pattern for the failures.

1) Draw a wall in ArchWB >select the wall and create an Arch Section
2) Create a default page in TechDraw > Select the Arch section and create a Section plane View
3) Select the section Plane view and change the scale to 0.03
4) Select the section plane view and create a LeaderLine
5) Select the leader line and switch the Scalable property to True. The line disappears in the page view.
Here I share an example file.
