Toggler Problem

[empedocles]

Just upgraded to V6 and need to create a toggler. When I click the paragraph <p> bar in the XML Editor, the text/image is highlighted. When I right-click, I don't get the Name option in the dropdown. I know I can get it from the Format menu, but is there some setting I need to change so that left-clicking the <p> gives the same dropdown of menu items as before? Thanks.

No, they removed it from the right-click context menu for some (stupid) reason. Submit a bug report at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx asking for that option back.

Bummer. Thanks, Lisa.

Dead right. I miss that too. Used it so much that I still reach for the right-click.

Did a bug request or RFE get submitted? If not, I'll be happy to do it.

Everyone should submit a bug report. The more people who submit the request, the sooner/more likely that MadCap will fix it.

Whoohoo! The Name option is back on the context menu in v7!

Another question with regard to the toggler feature: If I have only one named element in the toggler targets grid of the Insert Toggler dialog, I'm unable to select it. To select it, I have to create a "dummy" named element first, then the one I want to select. Since I haven't seen anyone else bring it up, I must be missing something incredibly obvious.

In case anyone else bumps into the same problem, I've just exchanged e-mails with MadCap support and learned that, with Windows 7, the system dpi needs to be set at 96 (normal). Here's what to do:

1. Right-click on the desktop.
2. Under Advanced Settings, click the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" hyperlink.
3. Select the "Smaller-100%(default)" radio button.
4. Restart the computer.

Problem solved (although the print is purty dern small for these aging orbs).

This to solve the problem where one is unable to select the first named item in a list to activate a toggler? That's plain ridiculous. And I wonder if it's related to the issue where you cannot select the first conditional text item?

You're preaching to the choir. It's reasonable to assume a connection with the conditional text problem. Anyway, MadCap followed up with an e-mail saying a bug had been submitted on my behalf. In the meantime, rather than fuss with the dpi, I'll muscle through with my original workaround.
