I've been trying to figure out the specifics of how text paths work when used to align shapes to them, and I've run into an issue that I can't quite understand. In the document I've uploaded here, when I try to paste an object into the text path in the third group from the bottom, that object will, seemingly no matter what (regardless of the path being adjusted or being made closed, the start/end handles for the text path being adjusted or a different shape being pasted in), end up with a position entirely outside of the text path, with much lower X and Y values than any point on the path itself. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong here?
