Goner__ Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Hi guys, a minor bug you may want to look into when there are no more important issues. Insert an image (icon for instance) and pin it to the first word of a paragraph (pin position does not really matter though). Paste new text into the paragraph (and overwrite your pin, thus deleting the image). Think: "Ah, darn, I did it again. I wanted to keep the bloody image." Press Cmd + Z to save the day. The original contents will reappear – but the proportions of the pinned image will be completely different (and cannot be easily restored other than typing them manually to the Transform fields) Disclaimer: It's perfectly possible that I am just not doing something right. If that's the case, just let me know. Anyhow, thanks again for the brilliant piece of software you unleashed on us! I really love every minute working in the Affinity suite. Cheers to the UK! carl123 1
carl123 Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 Sounds similar to this report https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/108772-floating-increases-object-size/ To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
Goner__ Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 The ultimate cause may be the same but my issue is basically a two-in-one: undesired resizing of a pinned object undo does not get you back to the last correct version
Staff Jon P Posted March 25, 2020 Staff Posted March 25, 2020 It seems to be the same cause, I can only reproduce the issue following your steps if I resize the text frame first, do you get the same if you create a new frame? Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com

Also, by clicking the "Float with Text" button continuously on and off the pinned graphic would march up the page. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4

First things first, sorry for a latish reply Jon. No, I did not resize the frame. However, the issue seems to be resolved by the pinning fixes implemented in .627. I have not been able to reproduce it in the current beta, not even with resizing the text frame (which is still reproducible in MAS). Weird because I checked the bug like 10 times before submitting a ticket. Anyway.... good news, I guess! THANKS. That leaves us with my other pinning-related issue 😉– styled text in pinned image-text frame groups (such as image + caption) are ignored in TOC
