Thank you very much!

Yes you probably could, but it's kind of an overkill Thanks! That sounds like be a good temporary solution. Reading the comments above, it seems like a bug (since v1). Hopefully this will get fixed in future releases.

When the Show all text menu item is used from the Text menu, it also shows disabled (hidden) text. Is this default behaviour? If so, how you we restore the document, to hide the disabled texts again (except enabling/disabling the disabled text layers one by one) See below, the text 2 and 4 are disabled in the layers panel, but still being shown after show all text has been applied.

I am not referring about pasted text but placing text from the File-Place menu. You should be able to reproduce by adding the following steps: Create text frame and format Arial 12 Create art text and format Garamond 24 and type text While art text is active, use file, place and select a plain text file Placed text in art text is in Arial 12 and not Garamond 24 Optionally you can place a new art text (and it will be in Garamond 24, as this was the last used style), place text from file again and it will be arial 12. It is not logical that the last text frame style is being used for art text..

I was referring to plain text. When placing a plain text file in an artistic text, i believe it should use the current or last used text style, however it always defaults to used last text frame style, and i can't image this should be default behaviour as artistic text and frame text have different default. On the matter of default text style (while using artistic or frame text) using the last used text style, that is totally fine and as you mentioned it might not be desirable but it kind makes sense, but the issue I am referring to is not related to this. Currently it is mixing the last used text styles of 2 different tools, hence my idea that this is a glitch or bug. I am assuming that placing text (from a plain text file) in an artistic text, is using the same code as placing into a frame text. Hope this clarifies my point a bit.

When I try to place text (from the File-Place menu) in a text layer (created by the artistic text tool), it does not use the current text properties but always falls back to the (last used/default) font properties of the text frame tool. Is this by design or is this a bug? I am guessing this is a bug

It is something like this....

Thanks!

Well, for people wondering why this does not work... the donut has a hole radius of 100% but it is a closed curve, you see that when you convert it to a curve and start editing, so because it is closed, there are no line caps.. Makes sense, but feels awkward somehow

Btw, converting the donut to a curve and then expanding stroke does not work either

When you have a donut with a stroke and line caps, the line cap is not expanded when the expand to stroke option is used. See image (using 2.5.5)

I found that the issue related to variable fonts (at least in my case). When the font https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Shantell+Sans is installed, Affinity crashes after loading fonts. Removing this font resolved my issue. Hopefully the AF-3190 will fix this too.

Thanks, obviously my search term was not good enough

Yes, i am using Aphoto, the first one was indeed from V1 but as @lepr pointed out, it is because of the blue blend range why it is turning black when you turn off the HSL.

Thank you!! Missed that one.. It would be nice if Affinity would show the colored curves in the blend ranges (similar to a curves adjustment) so that you can directly see that there is a difference.
