walt.farrell Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Note: This applies to 1.7.1 of Publisher, Designer, and Photo, even though I'm only posting in the Designer Bugs forum. It also happens in 1.7.2.414 beta of Designer and Photo. According to the Help, the "Insert Behind the Selection" button on the Toolbar should behave like this: Quote Insert behind the selection—when selected, new objects are added below the currently selected object(s). The Help also tells us (in Targeting Objects): Quote Targeting allows you to decide the z-order, or nesting, of an object during creation. By default, drawn or placed objects are positioned: Directly above the current selection. At the top of the layer, if there is no selection. This default targeting behavior can be modified so objects can be placed or drawn below the selection, at the top of the layer (regardless of selection), or nested inside a selection. That is true in general. However, for one specific case it is not true. If you drag a file from the File Explorer onto the Designer document, rather than going below the currently selected object, it goes at the bottom of the entire layer stack. I'm not sure if this is an error in the Help, or an error in the program functionality. Recipe: Create a document. Create two objects of any kind. Select the top object (second one created, or by selecting the top layer in the Layers panel). Click the "Insert behind the selection" button on the Toolbar. Drag an image file onto the document from File Explorer. Note that it appears at the bottom of the layer stack, rather than between the two objects as expected from the description of the button's function.

Staff Sean P Posted July 17, 2019 Staff Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Walt, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I can confirm this seems to just be an issue in the Windows version - the Mac one is behaving correctly. I'll get this passed on to development. Thanks! walt.farrell 1 Quote
