v1105 Oddities with Constraints + Copy/Paste | Constraints + (alt/opt)Compound

[thomaso]

Rather incidentally I run into surprising results with objects that have Constraints set but aren't grouped as Constraint Group. The selected layers get influenced and altered by Constraints settings if …

… I copy the selected layers + paste them into another document: an object gets scaled.

… I use a Geometry function (any) with the opt key pressed: the entire result gets offset while its bounding box remains unchanged.

… I use a Geometry function with the opt key pressed on the pasted copy. Here the Compound gets influenced differently than in its initial document: not offset but scaled.

I am aware that this is not a useful workflow and it appears Affinity is designed to work with this combination (indicated by the resulting layer type "Constraint Compound") – but I would not expect the difference caused by copy/paste nor the difference in the offset versus scaled result.
[Not in the video: the position on the page influences the results of Opt-Add by increasing the offset respectively the scaling, which increase from top-left to bottom right position on the page.]

Hi Thomaso, 

Thanks for this, I've confirmed it and submitted a bug report.
