When trying to draw an arrow or line, I get the blue dots for aligning the arrow, but then nothing. Same for lines. Boxes and other shapes are OK

On my MacBook Air with Mac OS Catalina - When trying to draw an arrow or line, I get the blue dots for aligning the arrow, but then nothing. Same for lines. Boxes and other shapes are OK. I have a color selected.

Hi Jonap44,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that when trying to draw an arrow or line, you do not get an image, only blue dots.


Are you using Pages when this happens? Does dragging the blue dots change anything on your file or photo? Does this happen with all documents or one in particular? Try changing the line's color, thickness and transparency to see if the same happens. Check out Add lines and arrows in Pages on Mac.


Take care.
