Illustrator CS6 - hard to toggle layer lock/visibility

Jun 16, 2012 10:42 PM

Just wondering if anyone else is finding it more difficult to toggle the layer lock/visibility in CS6 than in the earlier versions.

It seems that there's more padding around the lock/visibility icon, and you have to be really precise to click it... increasing the row size doesn't really make any difference, as the "padding" is still there. Wheres in the earlier versions clicking anywhere within the toggle box would enable/disable it.

    Yes I've seen this. But it's not related to precision here. It's a matter of double-clicks. The toggles don't respond well when you click more than once in the same location. You may find if you click... click somewhere else... then click the original location again it works better. This seems to be true for not only the Layers Panel, but also the Appearance Panel.

     

    I have filed this as a bug. Hopefully it gets looked into soon.

    thank you for your reply.

    in the case of the toggle boxes though it doesn't seem to be the matter of double-clicking. It's just that a large part of the box is not clickable at all - the boxes can be made large enough but the clickable area is always as big as the toggle icon, with a lot of unclickable padding/border around it (you can tell by the way the mouse pointer changes over it). Not sure if that's a bug or part of the intended design, but it's quite annoying.
