Issue
By some feat of incredulous black magic, various elements in my layouts appear to have become “engtangled” since the last CMS update? Hard as it is to explain, I am having the following symptoms:
- When creating a new text element beyond the first one in a layout, the newly created text label will gain the exact characteristics of the previous label.
- Following this, certain settings on the newly created label will refuse to save. This includes options like “Text wrap”, “Bold” and “Italic”, but does not include “Underline” or “Font”. By “refusing to save”, I mean the changes will disappear after reloading, publishing or previewing the layout.
- Images also exhibit the same issue as above. I noticed that specifically “Opacity” would refuse to save, although changes the actual image source were allowed.
- …And again, pretty much the same thing, but for Rectangles as well. I was not able to save any changes to the “Rounded corners” option.
From this, I believe it can be reasonably infer all, or at least most of the commonly used elements are experiencing this issue.
Currently I am thinking downgrading may be my best bet, since this issue makes the designing layouts completely insufferable. Is that my only option? But maybe more importantly, why is this happening to begin with?
