What is this?? Am I going nuts or what?
I have a small SuperCard project with some data in it (~100 cards).
I want to add a new background field to it with text-attributes different
from the standard ones. In some completely (?) random fashion on about 50%
of the cards the text attribute doesn't stick, instead I get the standard
attributes. This is a BACKGROUND field, remember? If I change it, it should
affect ALL instances. This is EXTREMELY annoying!! Is there a fix, am I
doing something wrong, or is it Silicon Beach? Arrgh!
A related problem - the style of text copied from a field to another seems
to always override the attributes of the field being copied to. This is
usually NOT what I want, so can I work around it somehow?
Please help me!!!
