[ARCHIVED] Can no longer resize text box in Speedgrader on ereader

[hmcmichael]

Is anyone else having this problem too since the new update?

When I grade students' essays in the Speedgrader with my stylus, I used to be able to resize the text box and move it around where it wouldn't obscure the students' writing. Now, however, I am unable to resize it.  I can change the font size, but the little blue dots that create "handles" to resize won't move when I click and drag.

Hi @hmcmichael -

Yes, you're right! I tested it out on a device that had the previous version of Canvas Teacher. Then I updated. I tried to create a text box and resize, and it just feels "stuck". It's not responsive. Have you submitted a ticket?

How do I get help with the Teacher app on my iOS device?

I have not submitted a ticket yet but will now that I know someone else is having the same issue!  Thanks so much for your speedy feedback.  I'm in the middle of a large batch of essays and struggling with text box comments because of this very thing.  Thanks!

So what is the solution?

Yes, the same problem over here. No way to resize the text box, disaster!

I am pretty sure its because you tried to put the text box in the side margin. It happens to me when I put the text box to the side, but if I put it at the bottom of the page, it's fine.
