Gelphyn Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I am also experiencing Strokes that form portions of Object Boundaries are clipped when they are part of a Constraint Group. This does not happen with all similar groups of Objects, all of these contain Closed Curves that have Frame Text positioned on top of respective shapes. Regardless of actions to Ungroup or Edit within an existing Group the following remains true. Ensuring that all Objects in that particular Group have individually had all Constraints removed, i.e. no Constraint facility remains Selected [Highlighted] when the Group is reformed it still displays as Constraint Group. It is also noted that Grouping a Constraint Group [effectively double grouping initially accidentally in this case] causes Constraint Group to display as simply Group. Ungrouping this 'Group' reverts to Constraint Group and this situation is not perceived as being helpful. The attached File has examples of Constraint Group and Group, since these all [originally were copies of #1 it is strange that they are not all of the groups are of the Constraint variety] the Rounded Rectangle #4 was freshly created in an attempt to learn why the [#1 and #2] Constraint Group iterations of the Rounded Rectangle have Corners with a noticeably thicker Stroke. Any solutions to this effect would be appreciated. The Filler Text offered the opportunity to learn a little about this facility but other commitments prevented me from making everything appear 'sensible'.Card TEST 2.afpub CONCENTRATING ON 'CONSTRAINT GROUPS' I OVERLOOKED THE FORUM TITLE, MY PROBLEM IS WITH PUBLISHER BETA. Please, can a Moderator/Administrator move this to the appropriate Forum? Thank you. Edited November 16, 2018 by Gelphyn In appropriate Forum choice, apologies.

Gelphyn Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have found a workaround [? solution] to the problem of Constraint Groups and the perimeter clipping that occurs. Although I still do not understand why apparently randomly some Groups result in becoming Constraint Groups whilst others, using similar Objects, remain simply as Groups. If a Constraint Group is 'Grouped' the latter displays as a simple Group, ungrouping the Constraint Group within the newly formed Group allows the latter to remain as a simple Group. Importantly the previously troublesome clipping does not occur. It would be nice to know if I am unwittingly creating a problem, if this behaviour is intentional or is a bug?

JanHol Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I am experiencing the same problem in the newly released Affinity Publisher. Whenever I use cmd+g to group objects the becoma a constraint group which clips everything when I move or resize something. This means I constantly have to ungroup and group items which is very annoying and slows my workflow down. Is that a bug or intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelphyn Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 It would have been useful to learn if I had been doing things incorrectly, however as the workaround did just that it is water under the bridge. I have not found any problems with AfPub since the Full Release. Might help your case if you say what Version of Publisher you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanHol Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I am using version 1.7.1. Generally very happy with the software, except for this bug (?) and a bug with master pages. But it's perfectly possible that I'm just doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
