What does the "c" stand for in the descriptor in the upper left corner of VS?

[Boldline]

The descriptor in the upper left corner of the program calls an expanded oval a "path", which makes sense. But if I expand text and select one of the former letters, it gives me a "c" in the descriptor section. Is this intentional or a bug? What does "C" stand for?

@Boldline It should be an 'N'… How did you expand that text?

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline Yes, that should be the name of the object, and it should be "N" in this case

How did you expand that text?

I used the "merge" function. I just tried again using the new 103 build and got the same result. If I use merge to expand the live text, it will label each letter the same as the first one in the set. So it seems to only be affecting the shapes when "merge" is used to expand them

I tried a couple different fonts and realized that was not the issue. Then I used "separate path" and off camera I tried "convert to curves" and after ungrouping, each expanded text shape displayed the proper info

[VectorStyler]

@Boldline Then it is the name of the object. The name was probably kept from the first shape "C", when separate path was used.

@VectorStyler I don't think I was very clear in what I wrote earlier. It works correctly for everything EXCEPT for using "merge". Every other method for expanding assigns the new expanded shape the correct letter name. Merge does not do this

Merge does not do this

I added this to the backlog.
