Extra lines around extending from text box using stroke tool

Hi - This has just started happening with Layout 2026 - I get these lines extending away from two of the corners of some of my text boxes when I add a border around them using the “stroke” tool. The lines appear in printed PDF exports as well, except in different directions. It’s as if the lines are meeting at some random vanishing point off the screen. I turned off the “stroke” and turned it back on - lines came back. As a workaround, I turned off “stroke” and just drew a rectangle around the text box - still, odd bug!

Can you share the LO file that shows this?

Sure, you bet! I simplified this to a single sheet where the behavior was happening. Thank you - many times over! It’s still too big to upload, but here’s a google drive link, if that works? sample layout file

If I move the text box, the lines don’t update, until I save the file, and then they follow the text box

Can you show a screen shot of the text box with the extending lines?

I have the file now. You might want to remove it from the link since it contains sensitive information.

Although it would have still been too large to upload directly, I did have a look at your SketchUp file. I fixed incorrect tag usage, purged unused stuff, and reduce the size of some excessively large textures.




That reduced the size of the SketchUp file by 64%. This would have a carry-on effect in LO. There’s at least one unused reference in the LO file that could also be purged.

I don’t want to do anything to the LO file until I see your screenshot of the errant lines.
