Related Topics text in Design view has changed.

Morning all,

RH 8.0.2.208 generating WebHelp.

Up until today, when I've added a Related Topic to a Topic, it appeared as "Related Topic" in the Design view. The formatting selected in the Related Topic Wizard was applied as expected. I'm using a Text Related Topic (not Button or Hidden).

Today, I added a new Related Topic and it appears as "Design-Time Control [Related Topics]" in light gray text. Looking at all the Related Topics I've added in the past, they too now show up this way. Both new and previous Related Topics links seem to work fine in the preview window.

However, the HTML is significantly different (below).

Adding a Related Topic to a different project also exhibits the problem.

I have the feeling I fat fingered something but have been unable to determine what and fix it. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi Patrick

The view change is normal if you adjust the editor view to anything other than 100%. Try clicking the drop-down and choosing 100%.

Cheers... Rick

Rick,

Thanks!

@#$%^&*! - that's the second time the view zoom has gotten me! Never again! I've removed it from the toolbar.
