Strange Button Behaviour

Post by RossG » Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:40 am

When I drag the standard button from the toolbox I get what
I expect.

When I copy/paste I get a button with an unattractive blue
rectangle around it.

Is there a fix for this "feature"?

Hi RossG,
I guess normally I just Ctrl + click drag, (there is a Mac equivalent) and that clones the button.

I don't think I've seen that. Can you post a screen shot?

The last time I tried to insert an image it didn't work.
What kind of images are allowed?

I think the default button has a blue border by default but whether true or not
it doesn't show in the border colour patch in the Inspector but it is set to
that colour in the colour-picker.

I put in a different colour then pressed the "Clear" button and it reverted to
blue.

In future I'll use the push-button I think.
