SC v2.56.01 - Expand canvas to fit objects
« on: June 15, 2009, 09:26 AM »
Hi,

The Expand canvas to fit objects function doesn't work properly. I created an arrow object which is out of canvas. Here is what it happens after I apply the function, notice that SC create a white area in the right I think SC has just expanded widthwise.

And here is the result after save it

I think it's a bug.

Is there a way to manually expand canvas?

let me investigate -- the other possible cause of problem is that its not taking into account the size of the text box above the arrow.

absolutely.

go to the Edit->Resize dialog, and check the box that says expand canvas:

I tested the resize function and here is the result



Arrow object (and its endpoint text "here") is in backward even if I use the send object forward option. Besides, the canvas expands adding white instead of being transparent.

you are right about background not being transparent.. i can add an option for that.

as for the arrow object being back and forward.. im unsure about what it is behind.. oh is that system tray area an object?

If you're talking about this area (without the red arrow)

It's the primal screenshot ! Not an added object.
