Outline FX seems to be bugged

[AlessioFB]

I am on Windows 10.

When I create a shape and give a semitransparent fill, then the OUTLINE FX will remove the transparency and add the outline color to the fill.

I created an example for you. The two shapes below are exactly identical, the only difference is that the rectangle on the right has an outline.

As you can see, the transparency is gone.

I tried to compare with V1 and found out an interesting thing: if I copy-paste a shape from V1 to V2, then the outline doesn't create this bug in V2. If I copy a shape from V2 to V1, then I have the same bug in V1 too. So I think it has to do with how the shape is formatted and not with the FX.

I test it out with Photo V2, same problem. Even with raster images, any non-opaque part will be tinted solid with the outline color. Interestingly, my Photo V1 has the same problem as V2 apps, too, no matter copied or new.

I haven't tested in with Photos yet. Very weird that Photo V1 has that, how can a bug like this survive that long?
I will have to throw away a week of work on V2 and go back to V1, because V2 is showing too many bugs and also has performance issues, I can't risk proceeding with my project in V2 right now. It's not reliable.
I am very disappointed.

Can confirm this bug in Designer V2

*Note: The artifacting around the outline is in the program, not because of the recording...

I think it's more that the 3 programs likely share the same functionality for efficiency, so a bug in one program may very well show up in another in certain modules.

Agree. The bugs are too many that I reached my daily post limit to submit bugs yesterday... 😩

I feel you.
I also found other bugs, but didn't submit them all. It doesn't feel right to work as a QA beta tester, for free, after I paid for the Universal license.

Hi Callum, this issue still persists, one year later.

This is something that is still logged with our developers to be fixed unfortunately it looks like other fixes/features have taken priority hopefully this is something we get round to addressing soon.
