Sorry if I put this under the wrong category, I’m new on here.
But I was hoping someone can help me.
My binder and general font size is 13 but it keeps jumping back to size 10 whenever my laptop has been in sleep mode.
At first it sometimes helped to minimize the Scrivener window and open it again but it doesn’t do the trick anymore.
Until the day before yesterday I manually changed the font size of my binder.
But multiple times the font size changed on it’s own and it was then set to 16.
So now I have to close and re-open Scrivener for everything to ‘bounce’ back into their original sizes that I set them.
And I don’t mind having to close and re-open Scrivener but it is quite annoying when I have to do this multiple times a day.
Does anyone have any idea why Scrivener does this or if this is a common problem/ bug?
Or am I doing something wrong?
When you say Binder, do you mean the Editor, where you actually type out your content?
Anyway, under File → Options, set your defaults for your Editor.
Also, ensure you use Paste and Match Style for anything copied from outside of Scrivener, or, indeed, for any documents/elements in Scrivener that might have a different font.
Otherwise, no, there’s no bug in Scrivener for Windows of the nature you described.
Thank you for your reply
The problem occurs in both the editor and binder.
I took a look at these settings and it was set at 18. So I changed the settings to 13 and put my laptop in sleep mode to see if it fixed the problem.
But upon opening (not starting up, just opening the window) it’s all small again…
Something I noticed this time too, which only happened a few times before is that everything shrinks, not just the text.
Like this time, I have the text scale set on 125% but everything appears more like when you set it to 90%.
It looks like when you zoom out in your internet browser when you press crtl + - but in Scrivener.
This only started happening about 3 or 4 weeks back when I started to use Scrivener daily again.
In that case I’d recommend not allowing your laptop to go into sleep mode with Scrivener running, but close Scrivener. It takes barely seconds for Scrivener to open from an icon, particularly when you have a relatively small project, e.g. a 2MB project of 300,000 words only.
Any computer and app will eventually go haywire when not properly terminated/switched off—and you’ll find Scrivener one of the least resource-hungry apps around.
That’s true, Scrivener has started up within 5 to 10 seconds, I just have to learn to actually exit and turn off my programs and laptop as I tend to just minimize everything and close my laptop and call it a day.
