  @Ayo Besides what @Boldline mentioned, I just wanted to say how it makes me happy to see influx of new (serious) testers that run VS through its moves and add to the conversation what can be done better / different / would improve their workflows. I too am testing VS on and off over a couple of years now and can see the large amount of improvements that have been realized in this time. And not just improvements, also extra functionality (such as support for Japanese typography) and things that we cannot do easily in other programs. Contributions like yours are invaluable and help to shape VS into an outstanding application.

  @VectorStyler Maybe I overstep my role, but I was still thinking about this (mentioned it also in the mis-leading pdf) and thought that the cause might lie in the use of the font metrics font size 'Height' that includes the fonts internally specified leading specified by the font designer. Advanced DTP programs can control the line spacing in terms of point size and use body height (sum acender + decender), but word processors default to single line-spacing are using the build-in line-spacing specified by the font designer. It is important NOT to use the so-called 'default build-in line-height' wich is basically a font designer's personal preference which is irrelevant and undesirable in a professional environment. Leading is highly dependent on line width and use/medium. Maybe I am wrong, I am not a developer. "Maybe I heard the clock chime, but do not know where the clapper is" (dutch proverb) I'm just worried.

  @Ayo said in Unit Soup: When I specify units for Type as points I want to see points (supervisory). Found the bug. The various leading, etc fields use the wrong defaults. Will be fixed.

  @Ayo said in Artboard stress: Stack order in panel represents print/export order. That's correct, isn't it? Yes, stack order in Canvas& Artboards panel.

  @VectorStyler OK, could be that the mockup is oversimplifying things — this background color needs to be added as content that can accept transparency masks, effects, etc, right?

  @Boldline said in Was the transform panel removed?: If I wanted to add it back in again at the top, would that be in the contextual menu bar or can we also alter the very top menu bar area? This can be edited with the Customize Toolboxes command and in Toolbox select the "Context Panel" mode.

  @Ayo If it crashes with this again, back up the resources folder. It might be some settings causing this.

  @Harry Not a bug. Currently the gradient is aligned to the object shape. I will try to improve this in the future.

  @Harry context panel restricted by design. CMYK, HSB etc. values in color panel I have to check why this happens (could be also by design to restrict accidental changes).

  Stroke and Brushes panel options suggest a flyout menu with "play buttons" triangles.

  @Harry Replicated on Windows. It should not show these if there are no condition variables defined, can be ignored. Will be fixed ASAP.

  @Harry said in beta 1.2.003 update: In the profile editor view, it doesn't work at all. Replicated on Windows. I will fix this ASAP. As a workaround, drag the node out of the profile area to the left or right to delete.

  @VectorStyler this will be difficult because when I click outside the VS workspace, I get the correct icon (which may disappear but always comes back)... I mentioned this issue because I thought it was permanent but it ends up working... so, weak prority to that
