Title: identifying measurements
Post by: WHYz on February 28, 2018, 11:06:04 PM
Hi, Generally when I pull down/across a guide, where I have grabbed it, a little box follows with the distance of the guide (so I can put the guide in the exact place I need it. However, it appears I've done something to stop having those measurements showing. I figured I could fix it in Preferences, but I can't find anything about measurements. Can someone help me fix this situation? (TIA)

I have version 1.4.6 for Windows and there is no margins under view.  But thanks, It's at least given me more to search on!

...but the entry 'move/resize value indicator'  is the same in 1.4.6.

That is great...However, I can't find it using the picture you posted. Here is a screenshot of my Scribus: (//)

Given the info that you both (Utnik & Mnawij) gave me, I FINALLY figured out where the problem was! Thanks so much! *kusje* WHYz

Just to try and make things clearer for anyone else reading this in the future, the "Move/Resize Value Indicator" toggle is in the "View" menu of 1.4.6 but it's at the bottom rather than being in a "Measurement" sub-menu (which is where it is in 1.5.x).
