Re: Property Inspector, Text Formatting, Text style ->Plain Button?

I mentioned a day or two ago that the bit of the property inspector that does all the actual dirty work is a tree widget! I think when RunRev switched over to using a tree widget, they lost other functionality in the bargain. Not that the functionality HAD to be lost, but I think they just

Property Inspector, Text Formatting, Text style ->Plain Button?

Hi, just noticed again that in the property inspector under text formating there is not the “plain” button/icon anymore to set the text to plain. In LC 6 this button is still there. Is this a bug or are there reasons why this button is not there anymore? What do you think? Regards, Matthias

Hi Jim: The Inspector doesn't provide options for changing *every* possible property of objects. One could argue that it should, but doing so would likely consume a lot more screen real estate, so RunRev probably opted to show what they consider to be core properties. As you found, you can
