[ronnyb]

Affinity's display rendering doesn't work/update in the canvas when changing the text inside and Art Text object inside a Subtract Compound Object (Live).

Hi @ronnyb,

Does it work for you after you toggle the Art Text layer off and on in the layers panel?

Yes, any changes to the object works in forcing the re-render, except actually changing the content of the Art Text object....

Hi @ronnyb,
If I remember correctly we already have this (or a very similar issue) logged. I don't remember it being specific to the subtract operation though. Checking the logs.

[EDIT] Yes, this is a known issue that's already logged with dev.

Oh no! Not the Logs of Perdition! (where bug reports wonder aimlessly in eternal damnation....)

For me, the force re-render updates the Art Text as well... or isn't that what you meant?

An issue raised in this thread ("Text objects used in compounds do not update immediately when we change their attributes or edit the text") has now been reported to the developers by the testing team (Ref: AF-2257). Thank you very much for reporting this issue to us.
