Please add this essential function in AD:
- Background fill colour and stroke colour/width for text boxes.
- Convert text frame back to vector object
Thanks for your support.

It's certainly not intentional behaviour! 

That is not necessarily true. Since it is OK with you, check out my attached vectored gator.afdesign file. Note that all four leg shapes are open, as are the two curves above the eyes. Nothing is masked, so there is no need to spend any time making mask layers, & the only thing clipped are the brown parts of the eyes. Everything else is done with layer stacking & applying gradients using the Fill tool on multiple selected objects in one operation for consistency.
 
I am still trying to figure out exactly what you mean by using pixel selections for color, how this is faster, what a border "more as a window" means, or why "more space on the colored layer" means you won't have to adjust them if you make adjustments to the line art. If you don't mind, maybe uploading a sample .afdesign file of the gator (or whatever) using your method would help me with that.

Hello Affinity Developerteam,
for EPS export, the transparent document background is set to white, if objects have effects like shadow. The background is transparent only in PDF (vector) export.
Tested with Indesign import.
