Text Wrap now works only when object is above the text frame

It is indeed weird. Apparently it occurs if both objects involved in text wrap are both text frames.

In that case text wrap seems to work only under specific conditions. The text frame which should be wrapped must be either/or ...

  • placed on a layer above (in front of) the wrapping text frame
  • a text frame with ticked "Ignore Text Wraps"
  • an Artistic text frame
  • a text frame with text converted to curves

In 1.7.1 if two text frames overlapped and both had wrap then they'd both wrap around each other. We tried to fix that in 1.7.2 by making the one on top win

If one really applies text wrap to both of two text frames I'd rather expect a warning or error message to make such a contradictory setting obvious for the user her/himself.
(... rather than the effort for a hidden workaround, which also would prevent for the user to detect such an own setting issue)


On the other hand this current "bug" solution (> foreground wins) enables a setting like this for instance:
(which would not be able if two text frames could not have text wrap applied but would need extra wrapping shapes instead)
