Rotated image at 120% zoom

Report · Mar 25, 2011

Hi Framers,

I use Frame 7.1p116 and have some small graphics of arrows in my text. These are imported by reference, Anchored Frame, At Insertion Point.

When I display at 100% ot 140% (or other values) the display is just fine. But at 120% one of the arrows is suddenly changed from a Left arrow (correct) into an Up arrow. The printed PDF is just fine.

It's not a big deal, although it cost me a few minutes when I thought I had imported the wrong image. Has anyone seen anything like it before?

Here are the three zooms and the Object Properties. They are straight screen grabs, cropped and with a red circle added afterwards.

Any ideas?

Derek,

It's probably a bug, but since 7.1 is over six-years old and more than 4 releases back, I doubt if there's any resolution for this other than upgrading.

Have you tried changing the zoom values to say 125%?

Does changing your monitor size in File > Preferences have any effect?

It sounds very much like a "rounding error" where FM can't quite get enough precision at that specific % view and so sends the image to half-baked oblivion as a result. Poor little dizzy arrow.

Thanks Sheila and Arnis,

Today I opened the project to try different zoom settings and the problem has vanished; I get the correct arrow at zooms of 100, 120 and 140%.

Likely a bug somewhere deep in Frame's innards. Anyway we've ordered TCS3 so soon I'll be using FM10. Thanks anyway.
