No numerical values for text size

[dcfender]

Hi, after I upgraded to 25.1, I noticed the slider for font size is now larger and does not have a numerical value associated with it. Am I missing something and is there a way to choose a specific numerical value? I need this feature for a lot of my projects.

Expand your Properties panel horizontally.

In the Effect Controls panel, hide the Timeline View.  The Show/Hide Timeline View button is at the top of the panel, immediately to the left of the Time Ruler.

With the Timeline View hidden, you'll see the numeric value for the  Font Size at the right of the Font Size slider and can click that to edit it as usual.

Hopefully this gets adjusted in a future release so that the Font Size value is visible at all times.

In meantime, you might prefer to adjust this in the Properties panel instead (Windows > Properties).

Aaaaand that's what I was missing. Thanks!

This helps too! Thanks!

In PP 25.1.0 on macOS Sonoma 4.6.1 (Intel MacBook Pro), text boxes for MOGRTs in Graphics Properties no longer scale with window or panel size. This makes it difficult to work with text as it runs off the edge of the window, instead of wrapping inside the properties box. See below:

Previously the text box would scale so that text always wrapped at the end of a line. My workflow isn't everyone's workflow, but this means I can't easily judge how much text fits into a fixed caption line, as well as meaning I have to sacrifice program monitor space to drag the text box out to its full width so that I can see the text. Not great.

... in fact, text doesn't seem to wrap inside the text box at all, even when it's dragged out to its new minimum size. Extremely frustrating.

... and text no longer highlights when I click on it in the text box, so it has to be manually highlighted before I can enter new content. All of this severely disrupts a well-honed workflow after years of using PP. Little stuff adds up to big frustrations. Hopefully this is a bug, not a 'helpful' new change forced on users without warning – there's been a lot of that lately, and it's getting tiresome.

@ajwazzer,

On a project, and won't update yet. And yes, what I see in 25.0.0 (Win10) is that lines word wrap, when you click on the text, it all is highlighted/in edit mode.

When I click in the box, scroll arrows appear, but the height of the box does not increase.

When I drag out the width of the panel, line breaks show on each line as expected.

I only looked at one mogrt. I wonder if there is any point text/paragraph text issue at play. That control was introduced for regular text around version 24.2.

Hi @ajwazzer ,

I am merging your post to another one that I though was a similar issue. If your specific issue is different please let me know and I will address it kindly.

Thank you
