It shows the same small x as a symbol shows for its insertion point. So for every text line it shows the x at the far bottom left @ the start of the text line, regardless if I am in the text menu. It's always on.
On one of the other machines here at the office it doesn't show. It has to be a setting. I may try rebooting my machine to see if that does anything.
It's always on? Hmmm, I don't think that there's a toggle anywhere for that. Might be a bug. If you hit U to regen outside the text menu does it still show? What font are you using?
Thanks! - Josh Do. Or do not. There is no try. Josh's Digital Downloads is come back online soon. Stay tuned. (soon is a relative term)
