Curved Text Leader

Same here, whenever I use annotations I am soon begrudged because of the points I described before. So I create my own cells that at behave as expected. Anyways there seem to be no straightforward benefits that one might imagine worthy (e.g. like getting a list/count of annotations including the annotated objects)

and  come back later and edit the tex

ok, it would not have occured to me to place an empty annotation in the first place.

it is honestly annoying for me in a case like this.

I forgive you...  but  you need to forgive me  too, but  as I am not a well practiced in CE as V8i I didn't  want to mislead the  OP and  listing the version is  part of the best practices of the forum I'm surprised that Jon  from LA solutions didnt  get in before  me over it... I have even seen even lately users ref  to SE and  V7 in this  forum so yes I like to put the version   in my posts and your  bracket  method is ideal but the op neglected to inform us so I asked... as it does  more often make a difference...especially  which buggy version  of CE they have

sorry  but  are you  placing  leader notes with capsule and  no text and  come back later and edit the text.. I only  used curved leaders with capsules in v8i and I add the text  during the first instance.. but  I never really liked the curvered leaders as they were  rely just bsplines   so i stopped using them and  never even tried in CE  .. but now no access to msn anymore so working  from my memory of the products

So it could be something specific to your version. I am not able to do any further testing since I have a different version. This is exactly why exact version is useful information and not a distraction.

Hopefully someone with your version will be able to test and verify that it is something broken in that version.

This occurs for all text frames.

The leader becomes straight after applying.
