Flare XML Editor img behavior changed

Post by BrianAtInTouchHealth »

Hi,

I've been using Flare since 2010 and I have rather embarrassing question. Up until lunchtime today when I inserted an image I would see four vertical bars to the left of the image
  • HTML
  • body
  • p
  • img
Now, however, that last "img" bar no longer displays. What's even odder is I can copy a paragraph with an image from an older file and the "img" bar displays. However, when I save the new file, close it, and then reopen it the "img" bar is gone.

I assume I accidentally clicked something but I'v gone through Flare 2019's help and can't find anything. Also, I made screenshots but the forum won't let me upload them. Instead, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Could not upload attachment to ./files/17294_07894ec06a27e436c8171c7262c166ac.
Thanks,
Brian

Turn on the status bar that appears AT THE TOP of the XML editor and you'll find the img bar up there. (In the XML editor there's an icon on the toolbar at the bottom, if you hover over it it's called "Toggle show spans".)

I have no idea what determines whether the img bar appears on the side or on the top so if anyone else knows, please post, but at least you can now see it.

Thanks ChoccieMuffin. Here's the image I tried to upload previously.

What's even weirder that once I start adding formatting the behavior goes back to the way I'm used to as shown below.

Since it's a cosmetic issue I'm just going to let it slide. :?

Thanks,

In the first picture, the img thing is in the top left of the page, just under the Layout (web) thing. So you can still select it from there. A minor annoyance rather than a bug which is why I've never bothered reporting it, but it would be interesting to learn what determines where it goes.
