Convert to Curves behaves oddly with linked text frames


Recommended Posts

Recipe:

  1. Draw two linked text frames on a document page.
  2. Type some text into the first frame.
  3. With the first frame still selected, Layer > Convert to Curves.

Result:

  1. The first frame and its contents are converted to group and the text within is converted to curves, as expected.
  2. The text is also duplicated into the linked frame.

Before step 3 of the recipe:

Good question. I stumbled upon it while figuring out something reported by another user, but I no longer remember what caused me to do that experiment.

But it could happen to anyone who happens to have linked text frames and who for whatever reason decides to convert the text to curves.

But regardless of a use case, it's broken :)
