Yes, more or less, though to be precise it's not so much default per se
as inherited.
As Jacque noted yesterday, valu
One of those gotchas that you learn once and never forget. It's really handy
when you want to change the look and feel of an entire stack, or each card in a
stack. It REALLY is handy when creating cross platform apps and you want to use

card, I expected that the text size and font would be what was displayed in the

If the text properties in the property inspector are italic, they are
inheriting from another control with a lower layer, or inheriting from the
IDE itself. If the property is not italic, it's been set specifically on
the control.
Regardless, there will always be a number in the text size.

After the button is copied to the destination card, I do:

The curio
I am copying a button from one card to another. The font size of the label
changes from that of the original to a large font and I can’t figure out how to
change the textsize of the label. I keep getting an error.
