Delighted to know youâre looking into the placement of the bubbles so that we donât have to move them all. It was a real pain doing it last time when the fonts changed. I have 5 stories, 4 of which complete and I really donât want have to move them all, again.
Iâm also worried about the placement of the name. In the new style itâs right by the tail of the bubble near the mouth. This means in some bubbles it will be over the face so I hope you move this back too, as they were before, or we may need to 're place some again anyway.
Iâm also hopeful that that tacky and intrusive looking box that the name sits in with the new bubbles will be removed too, so itâs just the name again as it was before.
I think itâs clear how they looked originally is what most people want, but being able to change the colour more easily would be great. You just donât need to play around with everything else x

Youâre so right!
Is anyone else finding that the default placing of these speechbubbles is really off?
My previewer still has the old style and they look fine there, but when I go into my app theyâre all over the place with the tails constantly facing the wrong way 
I thought this issue already got fixed and that was why the bubbles werenât released earlier? I donât want to place all my speechbubbles then have to move them again in a week.

The default position is horrible.
To be honest the whole speechbubble revamping upsets me. I feel itâs completely unnecessary. Releasing different color themes wouldâve sufficed. I find these new bubbles clunky and awkward. I want to option out of them and keep the old speechbubbles.

Letâs vote!
I donât think the speechbubbles by default have ever been that great tbh. Especially when the characterâs are spot placed and youâre zooming. Theyâre usually in all kinds of weird and funky places.

Thatâs true but in this case theyâre looking fine on the previewer and completely messed up on my app 
. The tail is constantly facing the wrong way and like people have said, theyâre covering the faces. This is even happening when Iâm not zoomed in at all

Ah ok. Well I donât use the previewer so I donât know how they look there. Youâd think that they should look the same on previewer or app đ€· but I guess it wouldnât be Episode if they did that would be too easy

I am able to see them since just yesterday but the tail isnât at wrong direction at all and they arenât covering the faces too 
Maybe they repaired it

Or maybe itâs my app . Iâve been having a lot of weird glithces lately.
Itâs in LL if that makes a difference and the bubbles were fine for characters on the right of the screen, but the tail faced either center or right for characters on the left 
(and yes, I made sure Iâd reset the speechbubbles lol)

Yeah Iâve not read a story in LL with the new speech bubbles yet so maybe itâs only in LL 
Yeah I see what you and @EliseC mean about the italics not being noticeable. I hope they address this issue. I havenât gotten the new speech bubbles yet either. Would they show up in my previewer when I get them?
So it will just come up in the app on the preview/create version on there, when you get them? I was trying to figure out how it works to see when you get them.
You got it!! :)
Iâm open to the new speech bubbles but not looking forward to the issues of having to fix the spotting of the speech bubbles, just like when they added the text effects and they had that problem too.
