Hi Matej,

I believe this has been fixed for the next beta! I can reproduce in .85 but not in .86 which you should be getting soon. If you are still having problems please bump this post and let me know!

Indeed. But IMHO this is not necessarily a bad thing. Being unable to select individual components inside a compound more adequately simulates the behavior of a single object. Perhaps an option ("allow individual selection of compound components") or an alternate shortcut be the ideal solution.

 

What do you think?

Hi Rubs,

 

I got used to quickly accessing compound components directly in the canvas. In the .85 beta you can only select them through layers panel and I usually make compounds to quickly make some edits after the fact and then convert them to curves, so I personally prefer the previous behavior, but I see your point and maybe a preference setting could be a solution for both worlds.

 

Cheers,

Matej

Yes, I hope the guys at Serif implement it sometime.
