2013 Icon Editor bug?

Solved!
Go to solution

I searched and did not see this listed as a bug, but I seem to have issue anytime i used the Icon Text feature versus just using the Text tool.

I have seen this problem myself, but always on VIs that were originally created on an older version of LV. The solution is to clear all the layers (Clear All under the Edit menu) and rebuild the icon.

I hate to say it, but it looks really funny, as if all the lettering on the marquee fell off.  🙂

 

Sorry, this was an absolutely non-contructive post.

Thanks Mike, I'm marking this as a solution, but I think there is still a bug.  You are right that an old vi icon edited before 2013 needs to be rebuilt, but using templates are buggy.  My example below is using new template made in 2013sp1.  If i use it as a template, the icon text looks like it fell down.  If i use my template as a layer, then it looks correct.
