Text Wrapping Bug

[Renegado]

I’m writing a textbook, and I have sidebars of different colors that mean different things, sort of like the “Dummies” books. There are three boxes, and I made them assets because I’m going to use them repeatedly throughout the book. I have one box called the idea box and it consists of a yellow rectangle, a text box on top of that, and a little graphic of a light bulb I drew. I have text wrapping turned on for the graphic, and the text in the text box beneath it is supposed to wrap around the light bulb. For some reason it doesn’t, as you can see.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Can you provide a sample .afpub file for us that demonstrates the problem?

I remade the box from scratch and then it started working, but here’s the file. However, I’m certain that I had covered everything before I did that, so I thought it made sense to report it, thanks.

Here’s the thread where I asked for help in a Facebook group:

Do you see anything in the settings that I’ve done wrong?

Seems to work for me, can you show your layers panel? Try rasterising your light bulb image layer, it is a transparent PNG.

Tried it, it didn’t work. I think the text wrapping feature is buggy. I made the group again from scratch and it worked - sort of. As I was making it and changing the ‘distance from text’ to 2.5mm, and changing the wrap style, I noticed it happened again. I went through some undoes and it fixed itself when I undid changing the wrap style, although it should have worked. Also, after I added the group to assets, I noticed that the text wrap looked fine in the document but it was still messed up in the asset window thumbnail (see picture).

Thanks. That document works fine for me.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Mine seems fine too. Can you attach a screen recording to see what's going on?
