I recognise that this is a really trivial issue, but I do find it irritating, since I have to fix it every single time I use Scrivener.
The X that allows you to delete a footnote, disappears if the Inspector panel is too narrow. What’s maddening is that I constantly drag the column to make it wide enough to see the X, but Scrivener always seems to default to a setting that’s fractionally too narrow when I reopen it.
What makes me think this a bug, is that if the Inspector is not quite wide enough, you see the X half hidden, like this, and the text is slightly cut off, instead of wrapping properly:
Thanks for the suggestion, but sadly that doesn’t work. I re-sized the Inspector so that the X showed. Saved the layout, closed and reopened Scrivener – same problem. Even selecting “manage layouts” and applying the saved one doesn’t fix it.
[B35] I was trying to replicate this, thinking it was related to this [url]Inspector Layout Settings issue] - it isn’t - and found a different strangeness going on. The first thing I noted was the little “x” only showed up when I had the mouse pointer hovering over a footnote. My screengrab doesn’t show the mouse pointer, so I can’t show it.. Next, I found that there is a sweet spot before you get a horizontal scrollbar to appear, after which the wordwrap no longer works and, unless you have the horizontal scrollbar set to the far right, you cannot see the little “x” show up.
