Problem with latest version

classic12 · January 31, 2018, 3:14pm

Hi guys,

I have upgraded to ver 6.3.1.0

Started and project ( attached).

I set the form to relative.

Added an image and set to all to auto.

Then copied and pasted the image a few times.

The images stay on top of each other even if I change top value.

Unless I’m being dumb here ( it was a late night )

Cheers

That sounds about right, actually. In relative positioning, controls default position to the top right. Read more about positioning here:

Relative.

When a control is added the Design Screen, it will go to the left side of the form, positioned under the control before it. Dragging the control to a new position will have no effect: it will snap back to the same place. Setting values for top, left, width and height will affect the position.

The images are on top of each other.

Am I missing something here.

What exactly are you setting to auto?

If I try this here without changing anything on the Images, they seem to position properly.

All the bounds setting are auto.

I’m on a Mac ( maybe the issue)

I used a Mac here too. Here is what I did to try to reproduce your problem:

New Project
Set positioning on the form to relative.
Drag and drop a BS Image. I don’t change any properties.
Select it and copy.
Paste
Paste

I get what I expected: 3 images vertically stacked:

What do you get if you open my project ?

I’m not seeing the attachment. Can you send it again?

Just tested again on 6.3.1.0 and seems okay.
