field size in documentation editor
« on: November 10, 2022, 11:11:18 AM »
For some reason, I'm seeing weird field sizes in the documentation editor -- see attachment.  I don't believe the fields have been modified recently, so don't understand why they became unnecessarily oversized.  Anything I can look for in an excel export or anything?
If you don't make mistakes, you aren't doing anything.

Yes - look at File->Export->Element Documentation
The first option (Standard Format) is CSV which you can look at in Excel.

To possibly fix any issues in Designer, if you can possibly email your project file (.dmd) to support at hosteng.com - it would help us figure out what may be going on with your documentation.

It could just be a "view" rendering issue.

But it could be that there are a bunch of spaces in the Description field in the export, or just a few "hard carriage-returns".  Description is a multi-line field - so a whole bunch of spaces or formatted lines (using Ctrl+Enter) to insert a CR like
a
b
c
d

vs.
a b c d
