Hey everyone,

I've run into an issue in Affinity Designer when using the Contour Tool with compound objects.

What I would expect:
When I select individual elements within a compound object, the bounding boxes fit snugly around each element – just as they do with shapes that aren't using the Contour Tool.

What actually happens:
All good when selecting elements one by one. But when I select the whole compound object, the bounding box is unexpectedly large, even though I reduced the shapes size inside with the Contour Tool. It doesn’t match the actual size of the object, making it really tough to position things accurately. I attached a sample file.

I know I could »bake the appearance« to fix it, which makes the size permanent, but I want to keep the design flexible (need to create a graphic with different sized window frames). So, that’s not the solution for me.

Has anyone else dealt with this?

Greetings
Dennis
