Disappearing OT Classes

Robby Woodard

Twice now, while working on Kerning Classes, my OT classes have completely disappeared.

Am I doing something to cause this to happen?

I am not selecting all OT classes and clicking on the "please delete all my hard work please, thank you" button...

Did you hit the button near the bottom of the panel?

Horrible bug.

I'm not sure which button at the bottom of the panel you mean.

On the mac, I have the add class button, trash can (didn't touch that) and the accept button.

I was viewing only the Kerning Classes when I did click on "Clean Up Classes"

Would that kill all my OT classes?

Don’t do that. Any setting other than all classes can cause classes to disappear.

Good to know... Thanks, James!

Still curious about the evil button at the bottom of a panel somewhere.

Finally read through the whole thread...

The upshot is NEVER touch that frickin' button at the bottom of the classes panel that supposedly switches between lists of the different kinds of classes.

Especially on a mac.

That is one nasty bug!
