Strange font deformation in compound

[Joachim_L]

I never thought this to be possible on an editable font (no curves).

1. Make a compound of a rectangle and Artistic text.

2. Move the text a small distance to the right.

Result: Moving away the text away from the rectangle results in a buckle. Move the text around the rectangle the buckle stays. Move the text a little bit into the rectangle, the buckle goes away. See attached image.

Hi Joachim_L,

Thanks for letting us know - this is a known issue that we are currently investigating.

Hi Joachim - well discovered! The new "A" can be be made bold, & given a point size. PDF export keeps the distortion. The font can be changed with some typefaces keeping the distortion. I wonder if there is a basis for a new live type distortion tool here.

I'm having the same issue with the Add operation

i was trying to Add the dark green parts as one.

This is the result of the Add operation.

This seems to be a common bug, I can't work with 1.8 as it literally makes working with shapes impossible. I downgraded to 1.7 for now.
