I think that this might be a bug in InDesign but I thought that it might be handy to know.

Here's how to recreate: Create a rectangle 200px x 200px, with a 4pt stroke. Set Align stroke to INSIDE. Set the top left xy pos of the rectangle to 100px,100px so that you can easily see changes, and leave the Reference Point in the top left. Now when you change stroke widths, everything is fine, and change corner types, everything is fine, EXCEPT the Fancy Corners. So if you choose Fancy Corners, the x/y becomes 96,96 and total width/height changes to 208 x 208 which is incorrect. Now change the Align Stroke to "OUTSIDE", and the x/y changes back to 100,100 and the rectangle size changes back to 200 x 200. Completely backwards, but just for the Fancy Corners.

Please comment if this is an expected response.

  • BTW -- this InDesign CS6 / PC – HumbleBeginnings Apr 13 '14 at 17:12
  • It does not do so with InDesign CS4; but the corner options were revised for CS6. Alas, as this is not programming related (unless you are an Adobe programmer) and so OT for SO. Try http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com, or Adobe's own http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign?view=discussions. – Jongware Apr 19 '14 at 22:46
  • Hi Jongware, Sorry if this was an OT post. I did post on Adobe not to cross post but to let others know here that this problem existed. I didn't consider it to be an incorrect venue at the time. Thanks for the helpful info, as always, though! – HumbleBeginnings Apr 20 '14 at 02:18
