First beta of 2023 is here, and on Friday the 13th too
Before work begins on Blocs 5.1.0 and some of the larger new features we have planned, I’ll continue to chip away at the smaller issues as well as implementing a few additional bits and bobs to improve UX, lighthouse scores and the developer API.
This issue only seemed to appear after creating a form on a new contact page. After coming out of preview back to the canvas. The Canvas shows the home page (when still set to contact) and the page is way oversized compared to the canvas. The layer tree still reflects the proper page.
This happened to me 3 times in a row. So something going on here.
I have just restarted work on a large project that was originally being developed in Blocs 4. The margin and padding on headers are acting really strangely with inconsistent spacing at different breakpoints and it’s not enough to click the x button to remove padding or margin. Trying to fix this with custom classes wasn’t working either, whether added, edited or removed.
I have been wrestling with this for an hour and the only way I can get this to work reliably is to remove the header completely, then add a new one. At this point it shows the bottom margin as 4 in the side panel and I can zero everything before adding a custom class to obtain consistent results. On a 115 page website with masses of text this is a painful proposition to say the least.
I also have the same thing here. In Blocs 5.0.1 I also had this and when it occurred again in Blocs 5.0.2 I reported it as well. Have also let it be known in a bug report (with video to clarify) when it also I 5.0.3 returned every time. But then it was very busy with other problems on the forum and knew how to deal with it and don’t have such a big website like Flashman. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough with my explanation then either.
I would really really like an option to opt out of the new export folder “feature” . It’s really disruptive to my workflow and FTP saved syncs in ForkLift. I had nice folder locations setup already. Now it’s a mess and annoying when I have to open a former project thats already set up.
I think he means the automatic naming of the export folder taken from the project name, so that projects are always held within a folder and cannot therefore overwrite other files by mistake. I like this a lot and it has made my workflow easier now requiring just a single main export location for all projects, but no objection if there is an opt out for those who want to work in a different way.
I have sent in a ticket with the project file, plus a description and a video showing the problem. It’s ticket #23642. Due to the random nature of the issue it is not exactly the same as described yesterday, however the difference is detailed in the ticket. It seems to affect text in projects migrated from Blocs 4.
