Converting text with a background colour to curves

[jamesxr23]

If you create text with the artistic text tool, and give it a background colour, then convert the text into curves, affinity designer just crashes.

It’d be quite nice if instead, it created a group with all of the letters as curves (like it does normally for text without a background colour), and then also a curve for the background.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

That seems more appropriate as a Bug Report, and one of the Moderators can move it for you if you let us know which OS you're using. It would also be good to know where you purchased the application, and which release you're using.

Didn’t realise there was a specific place for bug reports! I’m using windows 10, I’m fairly sure I purchased directly from the online store, and I’m using version 1.10

Thanks.

It might be worthwhile to visit the top of the forum and take a look at the overall structure

https://forum.affinity.serif.com/

which will lead you to a Bug Reporting section: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/71-bug-reporting/

I can duplicate that error in 1.10.0, by the way.

Publisher has the same error, and it's fixed in the 1.10.1.1138 beta, so will probably be fixed in the 1.10.1 release (or a beta, when available) for Designer, too.

Hi jamesxr23,

This is an issue we're aware of and has been fixed by development and will be made available in the next release.
