Publisher 2.5.x - Text Wrap and Text Decorations

[NiTOXide]

Hi all,

More of a suggestion rather than a bug report.

• Objects with text wrap should affect the decorations of text.
  • An example would be a bottom-edge decoration (underline) that spans the text-box (column). An image with text wrap should push the bottom-edge decoration accordingly. 
• This is of value when the text-wrapped object is on the right-hand side of the text with the decorations
  • On the left, it pushes the starting edge of the text.
• Current work around/solution:
  • Manually adjusting the local formatting of text with decorations.
    • Setting the position of the text-wrapped object first and then adjusting the local decoration formatting of the text.
      • A pain at this point.
• Other applications such as Word 2019 can have text-wrapped objects play nicely with text that have table strokes (the equivalent of the bottom edge decoration).

Unless, of course, I am completely missing something.

Thanks @GarryP

Seems like this has been around for a while. Let's hope it gets addressed in future updates.
