4.7.3
Create some nodes
highlight them
right click → “create comment from this section”
type comment title
can’t resize comment box to be larger
when you mouse over edge it gives you resize cursor but when you click and drag, window either doesn’t resize at all, or only resizes by a pixel or so
i think its gotten worse since 4.7.1 (unconfirmed)
shrinking usualy works, but expanding them is failing almost every time
Hi Taisaku,
I haven’t been able to reproduce this in 4.7.3. Does this happen in a new project, or only your current project? Can you post your dxdiag for us? Thanks!
In my project it was broken, but now its working again without me really doing anything, i don’t think i even re-opened project between it failing and now working.
It’s done this a few times, so it might be linked to some other usage, like deleting functions or renaming files.
I’ll try repro in 4.7.3 and report back if i get anything noteworthy
Could not repro in a clean 3rd person project.
My project (which has done this bug multiple times) has been converted up through versions so maybe a combination of that and my usage pattern was trigger.
Do you have multiple monitors? Also what platform are you running?
windows 7, two monitors. engine is generally running on primary monitor, glitch was on primary monitor aswell
I’m working on 4.7.3 with a clean project and have problem as well. It’s almost always for me at this point… I have stopped using comment boxes because of it… can’t get them to work.
I’m running windows 8.1 with two monitors, it kills me on both.
On a side note, they do work on my mac, might just have to do all of my comments on my mac.
Hi all,
There’s a known bug that just got fixed for 4.8 with comment boxes inside other comment boxes that can’t be resized (UE-3724). I just want to confirm: behavior you’re seeing occurs with comment boxes that are NOT inside other comment boxes? Thanks!
Correct. This is just a flat comment box, NOT inside another one. They are all by themselves. I have attempted to figure out steps you can take to reproduce but so far it seems more random (well it was random… now it’s all time) but I will continue to try and figure out if there is anything I can do. Let me know if there is anything you want me to try.
Hello Everyone,
I have just been reading this thread and I might have a theory on what is causing this. I have recently seen some strange intermittent behavior with graph editors being refreshed, particularly when window is docked in main editor tab well.
If this is cause it could be responsible for comments being a bit flakey when being resized in graph editor. Something to try when blueprint editor is docked in main editor tab well and you are seeing problem with comments - undock blueprint editor into its own window by dragging tab out of main tab well. If this is problem it should now resize o.k. and we can look into what is causing this issue with refresh.
Cheers!

Mine are typically not nested comments.
Quick Update,
I’ve just managed to reproduce what I was describing and I had not issues with resizing comments 
Hi all,
Please let us know if Benitoe’s suggestion (undock Blueprint Editor from Main tab when this issue is occurring) resolves issue for you. If so, we’ll have a place to start looking for source of bug. Thanks!
(4.7.3) It happened again so i tried as many things as i could and tried resizing after each thing, none of these fixed it.
Also it seems that when a comment becomes unresizable ALL comments are affected same way.
Hopefully something here will lead you to finding origin.
Hey Taisaku,
Thanks for trying suggestions, I have attempted to make use of pastebin url to try and reproduce this issue - unfortunately with no luck as yet.
Given problem seems to persist across sessions with editor I wonder if possibly next time this happens could you attach blueprint to thread - provided it doesn’t make resizing problem go away you should be able to strip it down to just comments to avoid attaching anything potentially sensitive. This way we can load up asset and attempt to use that look at this issue.
Cheers

So in last week I have now only had it happen 1 time… other then that posting my frustration on this post has seemed to fix it for me. sorry I’m not giving any more help as to how to reproduce this.
Hi all,
I’m going to resolve this post for tracking purposes for now. If you’re still experiencing this issue in 4.7.4, please and attach Blueprint in which you see this behavior in a reply and we can continue investigating. Thanks!
4.7.4 still happening, attached BP it bugged out on
Hi Taisaku,
Thanks for attaching blueprint, I’ll take a look today to see if I can repro or see anything suspicious.
Cheers

This is happening for me too in 4.7.4. I am using an upgraded project from an earlier version. For me it seems to be just nested comments (is this what will be fixed in 4.8 ? Any news on when that’s coming?). I’m using a multi-monitor set-up and have tried docking/un-docking/window switching/compiling/saving etc. I can only actual select comments box by click dragging a large area (single clicking doesn’t work anywhere) and once it’s drag-selected it’s impossible to move or resize
Update: I’m having another issue (may be related). Suddenly I cannot edit values eg names of variables. A marching ants type highlight appears around selected area (eg Components or Variables). Only way around this is dragging Event Graph (or whatever I need to edit) into it’s own separate window. Very strange. This is happening everywhere. I just had to drag out button mappings window to rename an action.
