Alt+drag something pinned to a text results in size changed

[Daniel Gibert]

Today I alt+dragged a group do duplicate it. The group was pinned to a text (and with wrapping applied). As soon as I started dragging it, the copy was stretched to incorrect size. If I alt+drag the item un-pinned it copies correctly.

I tried with other kind of grouped objects and all of them gets distorted. It happens on single shapes too.

Steps to reproduce behaviour:

1. mage a group of objects (In my case, a rectangle and two text boxes)
2. Apply a text wrapping and place over the text (In my case a squared wrapping)
3. Pin the group to the text
4. Alt-drag the group to make a copy. The cloned group gets horizontal distortion

I've attached a publisher document with the example used.  alt-drag-issue.afpub

About the only thing which works (at least to my mind and its way of thinking) is to select the pinned object and Copy and Paste then drag the copy away. I get a weirder result using Command + J.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delayed reply. It is indeed the same issue as @thomaso linked to.
