Copy-pasting rounded rectangles from svg files does not work correctly

Affinity 1.8.4

Open the attached test file in Affinity Designer. The rectangle is displayed correctly in this file.

Create a new document for print, and copy the rectangle to the document. (Copying to a a document that was created from a "Web" template works ok).

The pasted rectangle has an incorrect corner radius (too small), and a stroke that's to thick (like ~10x too thick). This problem does not occur when creating a rounded rectangle directly in Affinity Designer, even though it seems exactly the same.

The problem persists even after saving the document as an .afdesign file, and after converting the rounded rectangle to curves.

Hi Apfel,

This is not a bug as such. When importing your SVG the 'Scale with object' is enabled in the Stroke Panel. The idea is that it attempts to keep the stroke scale the same if the object is enlarged or shrunk in the same document.

The SVG is 72DPI (as is a Web template), however a Print Template is 300DPI so when pasted into that document, it is getting scaled up and causing the stroke's scale to increase as well. If you uncheck this box it will not modify the stroke size when you paste it.
