Describe the bug
Text box positioned with high Y(%) (e.g. 92–95%) for bottom placement appears in the middle/lower-middle of the slide in Edit view. The Position panel shows the correct Y(%), but the CSS section contains overriding pixel values like top: 1035.00px;, left: 50.00px;, height: 60px;, width: 1820px;.
Clearing those CSS lines does not move the box to the bottom, or the px values sometimes reappear after deselect/save/reload. The slide thumbnail/preview usually shows the correct bottom position.
Reproducing
- Add a background image (regular item) to a slide.
- Add a title text box ("Offering") and center it.
- Add a second text box ("Benefitting: {$offering}").
- In Properties > Position, set Y(%) to 93–95%, X(%) ≈2–5%, Width ≈90–95%.
- Observe: the box does not move to the bottom in Edit view; CSS gains
top: ~1035px etc.
- Delete the
top, left, height, width lines in CSS → no change (or values return).
- Try duplicating slide, new text box, restart app, remove template (Template → None) → issue persists.

Version (Optional)
- OS: macOS (Sequoia / Sonoma – Mac mini M-series)
- FreeShow Version: v1.5.7-beta.1 (also occurred in stable v1.5.6)
Additional context
Tried:
- Setting Y% before any drag/resize
- Disabling Auto size (if present)
- Removing template override, repositioning, re-applying
- Fresh text box on duplicated slide
- Zoom 100%, restart app, close/reopen show
- Settings > Styles aspect/font ratio tweaks
Positions sometimes look correct in Main Projector preview but not in Edit canvas.
Happy to share a minimal .show file or more screenshots if helpful.
