QCAD 2.2.2.0 on Ubuntu 8.0.4 How do I find the line width (or line style, or color) actually used for a text? The properties command gives the font, size and lots of other info, but no line width, line style, layer or color information. The property editor does give the layer (and coordinates) but n...

Leo Just checked: does not happen on the Ubuntu box, not even when a 0.13mm line fills the entire screen. For reference: that box runs Ubuntu 8.0.4 and is equipped with a ATI Radeon HD 3450 Dual Mon...
