Ben____ Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) When I group objects which includes text, it resizes all the text. How do I disable this auto-resize?

Alfred Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Ben. If you’ve used Artistic Text, this is not a beta issue and it isn’t a bug. Artistic Text resizes by design: use Frame Text instead if you don’t want resizing to occur.

Joachim_L Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Maybe I misread the OP? Isn't Ben________ complaining about resizing text with just grouping and no other action? This is all I can read in his question or I don't see the finesse of the English language. Perhaps a screen recording would be good.

Ben____ Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Thanks for the replies. Here are some screen shots that illustrate the issue. 2 hours ago, Alfred said: Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Ben. If you’ve used Artistic Text, this is not a beta issue and it isn’t a bug.

Staff MEB Posted January 15, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi @Ben____, Welcome to Affinity Forums Can you attach the file shown in your video (before grouping) please? No, i's not possible to convert an artistic frame into a text frame. Copy and paste the text from the artistic text object to the frame text.

You don't, it's a bug introduced in a later 1.9 beta, not sure which one but present in current beta Recipe1: New document Create text frame with text Use bottom-right extra handle to resize text bigger Group text frame (just on its own) Result: Text size increases immediately after grouping Recipe2: New document Create text frame with text Use bottom-right extra handle to resize text smaller Group text frame (just on its own) Result: Text size decreases immediately after grouping Bug report needs logging Wosven, Alfred and mykee 1 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 11, 2021 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 (this particular fix will actually be in the next beta #220 ) 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.
