Arrowends not displayed
  View type:
Hi,

I noticed that, when using Firefox, some of the lines I formatted as arrows are not displayed as they should.
This doesn't happen in all cases, nevertheless: having selected the "save autoshapes as images" options, sifting among images I noticed that some lines are saved with the arrows, and some not.
BTW, I use FF since this is the most stringent requirement in CL. If my course works in FF, it would work in whatever browser, including IE. Working in IE does not mean to work in other browsers because of CL's known limitations.
Any help or suggestion appreciated.

Regards
L
 
It might be worth running update objects once or twice before saving and publishing. Although it may well not do anything to help.
You would have thought that if one arrow set worked then the others would as well, is there anything specific which causes this? Rotated or flipped arrows perhaps?.
"Working in IE does not mean to work in other browsers because of CL's known limitations"... The limitations are browser based and due to the different interpretations of common standards. CL has been very consistent in what it will and won't do, what various browsers interpret the output has frequently changed with different patches and updates.
 
 
Hi Nick,

Thanks for your quick reply.
yes, arrows are sometimes rotated but the ones more often incorrectly displayed are the horizontal and vertical ones.
Actually, I'm creating a course where rather complex diagrams are explained through step-by-step processes with narration embedded in objects.
Regarding CL, I'm sure everybody is working well. Nevertheless, in my opinion M$ is NOT a standard, but a conviction, thus sticking to IE proprietary features is a limit, albeit I recognise it as very difficult to work around. My prospective students, as well as some of my customers, use Safari (on Mac), Firefox (on Windows AND Linux) as well as other minor browsers, and I cannot overcome this.
And as someone wrote on this blog, it's better to manage the issue at the lowest level of compatibility to be sure everybody may use CL-produced courses. If it works on FF, it works (almost the same) in IE, but not the opposite.
The above just to point out my statement, having the maximum appreciation of CL's team as demonstrated by the fact that I adopted CL as my favourite tool.
Keep up the good work!

Regards
L

Nick,

I tried updating objects, as well as deleting all xSHAPEnnn.png files, but no avail.
Thanks anyway for your help.
