Text formatting resets on blur

[Din_pappas_pojkvän]

Hi

I'm fairly new to Experience Design and so far I like it. The only problem I have so far is that I can't format the text I'm adding. I'm selecting the text, changing it to bold and I can see that the text goes bold, but whenever I deselect the text and start working on something else it resets to normal font. This does not apply to font-family or font-size which works well, just bold and italic.

I'm using Windows 10 and I'm thinking I might be alone in a Mac world to do so and that it is a bug, but it might be that I'm doing something wrong too. Am I missing something?

Actually, I just kept on trying and found something really weird here. I'm using the font Segoe UI (the default font) and bold and italic won't work. What will work is 'Light Italic' and 'Black' instead of just Italic and Bold. Also semi-bold seems to work...

If anyone could explain why this is I'd be so very happy

Hi,

Can you provide a bit more detail please?

Like what XD version are you using?

Were you using a simple text object or a text-area object?

Could you please provide a gif of the said-issue?

Thanks,

Remzi

Hello Remzi

I'm using version 0.6.16.7 Beta on Windows 10.

I'm using the text object and all I'm trying to do is change the text to bold. It stays bold when I have the text selected but immediately when I select something else (and blur the text) it goes back to regular font. This does not, as I write, happen with Black or Semibold.

Hi Magnus,

Just to be clear:

you create a simple text object

you set its weight to Bold from the drop down menu

you then set the text object to have background blur

You de-select everything and it goes back to Regular?

i attached the gif with the steps i took in trying to reproduce your issue.

Please correct me if there's any difference between what i did and what your actual steps were...

Hello

No, I just create the text, select it, set it to bold and then click outside of it (so it blurs, not a function in XD called blur). I've created a gif of the whole thing:

So once I click outside of the text it goes back.
