@VectorStyler said in Slow Typing Performance: @gotanidea I'm testing these issues with slow typing performance. The new document has no issue with speed (the old is till slow). What configuration you use for these tests? and which text is edited in the new document. I'm trying to replicate as close as possible. Can you please click the first text box ("Before rigging any character geometry ....") at the top-left region of the new document using the Text Tool, then hold the "a" key?

Thanks too, I feel the same way; learning through reverse engineering is very helpful. Interesting designs. I think Repeater still has a lot to offer. What I like about it is that you can use symbols, repeat them, and still continue editing.

@JuurGroove Yes, previews are known issue.

@Raaskot It looks like a bug, I try to fix it ASAP.

@VectorStyler

@MajorTom I replicated the issue here. Looks like the problem is with adding the effect to a text object. Converting the text to curves first should work. BTW: this effect must be edited interactively to result in some distortion.

@VectorStyler thanks a lot for the fix, it is working again.

@MajorTom A workaround for now: from what I can see, the goal is to clip / cut the shapes into the rectangle. This can be done by placing those objects into the rectangle (drag&drop in layers panel) and then Expand Clipped Groups.

@Kumr Added this to the backlog. The content of the Object Role folder should not expand as those are not separate actions.

@VectorStyler Thanks

@VectorStyler Update: I was playing around with more ways to replicate the issue and here is something to try: Windows 11, 3840 X 2160 (4K) monitor, as the "main display", Scale 150% and 2560 X 1440 (WQHD) monitor as secondary, Scale 100% Monitors are set to "Extend these displays" in System > Display. Start with VS 1.2 windowed on the (4K) Main display Move VS 1.2 to the (WQHD) secondary display. Turn OFF the secondary display. Contents of this display should move to the primary display. Turn ON the secondary display. Move windowed VS 1.2 to here, then move it back to the 4K primary display. Click on VS 1.2 to focus it. Hover over active icons in the top (editable) context toolbar. Icons should reveal a tooltip, if not, click on an empty area of the context toolbar. Check again. Hover over a Panel with an active icon. Icons should reveal a tooltip, if not, click on an empty area of the Panel. Check again. Repeat steps 6. - 7. to see if the tooltips are functioning for both the context toolbar, the panels, and the tool box. Apply the temporary fix by, going to Windows > System > Display > Multiple Displays > Make this my main display to get the tooltips behaving correctly in all panels, the toolbar, and the tool box. I hope that helps...

@Boldline Will be fixed, thanks!

Thanks @VectorStyler and @Boldline. I agree, it will be awesome to have this feature available - lots of interesting possibilities. File attached in case you need another example, and a screenshot of the settings I was using.

@Raaskot I opened a bug on this.

@Raaskot Added this to the backlog.

@Raaskot Replicated. It is a bug in highlighting hyphenated words.

@Raaskot I will try to improve the tool tips. The icon breaks the shape at a node. "Break Apart" creates separate shapes from shapes with multiple paths. "Separate Path" is the same as break apart, but a bit smarter, keeps the holes and intersections between shapes in one shape.

@jpsimmons said in Registration by an admin does not enable for all users: @VectorStyler That's what I end up doing, but it sort of puts unprivileged users in the position of being able to license software. Normally, that's not encouraged. I opened a bug on this one and will try to find a solution.

@FastVector I opened a bug on this, and will try to replicate it.
