Selected Text Requires Extra Click to Focus Text Formatting Toolbar

Post by shade-cabin-hammock »

Hi,

Can't figure this one out. Seems like lots of toolbars will self-select themselves for whatever tool I've activated.

I do a lot of text editing. The ONE toolbar that does NOT seem to self-activate is...the text formatting.

The TAB activates. That is, I get something like this:

But, most times then I need to bring my mouse back up there to activate the tab to get into the toolbar tools.

Any way round this extra step? What do you think is happening?

Sincerely,

SCH

Hello SCH,

My guess is t that this is because the edit tool is switching between the different types of content.


Please set the editing tool to edit only text and see if this helps.

Hello Dimitar,

Same result. Does it always switch for you?

Hi SCH,

I don't think it's meant to. If I select that Format tab, then select away on re-selecting the text it brings back the format tab:

I believe this how it is intended to work.

But it is Friday afternoon and my brain is not the sharpest. Am I missing something?
