# Features

## Improved text padding for shapes and notecards

The padding, or space between the border and text, for shapes and notecards has been reduced for improved usability. Additionally, the smallest font size available for these objects is 8pt to ensure all text is visible. If more text is added than the space allotted, the object will grow to accommodate the text.

# Helpful Hint 💡

Group-selecting items is an easy way to change large amounts of content in a workspace quickly. Different options appear depending on what types of content you have selected. Don’t forget you can simultaneously resize the content after group-selecting it!

## 🐛 Bug Fix: Duplicating and moving groups of objects causes them to ‘jump’

The issue of grouped objects ‘jumping’ instead of moving to a new location after being duplicated has been resolved. The newly created, grouped objects now move in the workspace as expected.

## 🐛 Bug Fix: Forced login loop after trying to add content

## 🐛 Bug Fix: Presenting a single item from a canvas would present the entire canvas

Occasionally, when a user selects a single item in a canvas to pull into present mode, the entire canvas and its contents would enter present mode. This issue has been resolved; only the selected content is pulled into the presentation.

## 🐛 Bug Fix: Cursor not visible for canvas title box

After the recent update to the canvas UI, users’ cursors were not showing after selecting the canvas title to edit it. This issue has been resolved, and cursors are visible when entering edit mode.
