Hi!

Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this issue: when I click the down or up arrow on my keyboard when using the star tool the points do not increase or decrease, I've searched and tired a lot of different things and have yet to find an answer. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

As Teresa said, you must keep the mouse button down in order for the up/down arrow keys to work.

Once you release the mouse, there is no easy way to add and delete points from the star, and you might as well start over again.

Could you please explain to me how to adjust the size/length of star points for 2022? The ctrl key no longer does it for all the points simultaneously. It's so very frustrating.

Are you pressing the arrow keys during the process of drawing the star? It doesn't work after the star is drawn. You have to keep the mouse button depressed while using the arrow keys. If you are doing it that way and it still isn't working you may need to reset your preferences.
