garrettm30 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I have downloaded your sample file and confirmed what you show in the video. I can't think of any reason it should behave like that. I tested on macOS 10.14.6 and Publisher 1.8.4. I like how you made the bug report very simple and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green text in the (Group) layer thumbnail above makes me wonder about the appearance of a green contour around objects in layer's thumbnails. The Help doesn't seem to mention this occurrence. Is it a redraw issue – or an indicator in purpose, for what? I can't recognize a rule for its appearance, it doesn't seem to be related to a current selection.

Staff Jon P Posted September 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2020 As thomaso says it does seem to be fine if you select the layer that owns the group, just seems to break grouping with the group itself. Haven't been able to spot what it is about that group that might be causing this to happen, I've logged it for now. Thanks for the report, the file and the short video demonstrating it!

Avalanche Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This is causing more work than needed. When will this be fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_S Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Can confirm this still happens on 1.90.932 Please fix this. kanihoncho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yes, it's really annoying and creates a huge amount of extra work not being able to group anything with text. Please, fix it ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanihoncho Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I cannot group using the button on the top menu either; the text still changes size. I just found out that grouping two non-text objects and then dragging the text objects into the group the text does not change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joêl D Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Having the same issue, even when I group and try to resize the text it doesn't resize and throughs off all the text alignments. I know it's probably not easy to fix but it's really slowing me down, so hope it can be fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic's initial post is about erroneously scaled text, not about text which doesn't resize.

kanihoncho Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I have the same exact problem. when text is grouped with other objects the text changes size (it becomes larger). If I group all the other objects first, I can then add the text without it changing size by dragging it into the group. This happens every time and is repeatable . . . this happened again just as you emailed me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy Boy Epic Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Same problem here. After update to 1.9, text get large when I group objects and text objects. Had to downgrade back to 1.8 because this is unusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I got the same issue on an existing file after update 1.9: grouping two text elements increase their size. It seems the problem doesn't appear when creating a new file though. I saw several posts about this issue on the forum either for Windows / Mac and Publisher / Designer so I hope this bug could be fixed in the next patch.

thomaso Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 @Jon P, it seems this issue occurs only if the grouped layer (containing the text layer) got scaled with the outer handle before it gets grouped a second time. – In this clip from 0:35 min.: grouped text scales if 2nd grouped.m4v Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w_yne_t_ylor Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 As above, I'm getting this with EVERY grouping I make since my update to 1.9, as are my colleagues. Groups are unusable till this is rectified :0( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanihoncho Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 the work around is to group the other objects first then take the extra step(s) to drag the text into the group . . Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

envinite Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Can confirm it's still happening on 1.9.0.932, here in my sample video the bug occurs when text and curves is grouped. Also sample Affinity file attached. hopefully next patch come in shortly, it's a pain to sort it all out manually.

A_B_C Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I’m sorry to say that, but this is a terrible issue. I hope the 1.9.1 update will arrive very soon in the App store. 🙁 Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted February 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2021 @A_B_C and others, We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Text in scaled text frame could increase in size when grouped) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Photo 1.9.1 beta for Windows Affinity Photo 1.9.1 beta for Mac Affinity Designer 1.9.1 beta for Windows Affinity Designer 1.9.1 beta for Mac Affinity Publisher 1.9.1 beta for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.9.1 beta for Mac These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.9.1 update/patch to all customers.
