Unable to change font size

[ivianjunjun]

I can't manage to increase and decrease the font size, may i know why does it happen and how do i fix it? thank you so much

But it is changing... It shows in your video. Although you are increasing essentailly 120 point type by 1 point increements, so that's not a big noticebale change, but it is definitely happening.

As Brad said, it is happening. I can also see the change.

When your cursor is in the Font Size box, If you hold down the Shift key while hitting the up arrow key, you will get larger increases; down arrow key for larger decreases in font size.

I agree with you, the increment is not behaving the right way, Does that happen in every document ?  copy the elements into a new docuemnt and check if you get the same result.

to get up to speed you can also use shortcut to increase/ decrease the font size:

ctrl + shift + >  

ctrl + shift + <

increment / decrement by 10:

ctrl + shift + alt + <

ctrl + shift + alt + >

( * On mac use cmd instead of ctrl )

If I use these arrows to change the font size, it rounds them. So instead of 119,0001 > 119, 9998 I get 120.

Does restarting your machine or resetting the Preferences help?
