When I am creating flipcharts I like being able to pin and unpin the browsers bar, but why when you pin this bar does it then push part of the flipchart behind the main toolbox?
Also why can text not be set to auto wrap once it reaches some percentage of the current screen width, it's so annoying when you are typing in new text and then have to delete some to find the resize button to get the box to wrap on to the next line.

Yes, this used to drive me crazy but now this is what I do.
Try this:
Click on the T (text tool) and BEFORE you start typing, drag the "ball" icon to the width that you desire your text to go before wrapping.
THEN, start typing.
Otherwise it will continue to type off the page to the right.
This also works if I'm about to paste text from somewhere, too.

You can start typing and then drag the "ball" a little bit to have your text wrapping.

Thanks for the tips Lisa and Anders, maybe I'm just being lazy then by expecting the box to automatically wrap!

.
you must have your main toolbox set to be floating. This is so it can sit anywhere on your screen. If you dock it to the left or right then the flipchart won't move behind it when you dock your browser.
Hope this helps.

I hadn't thought of that but I have checked the main toolbox setting and it is set to Dock right but the flipchart still slides behid it when I pin the browser toolbox to the screen. It seems to do this regardless of the screen resolution as it behaves the same when I am outputting to the projector and when I am not.

An easy to check is to create a square shape then select it
Select the property browser
Open the section called Position
Set top to zero
Set left to zero
If the shape goes behind the browser then the page is definitely running behind the browser
If it doesnt, then its probably an optical illusion from the white/grey outline round the browser itself.
