4-Point Text Distortion
-
The "4-Point Distortion" tool (in the toolbar) does not work as expected when applied to a text object, instead rotating the text. If I group the text with an invisible rectangle I can then apply it and it works as expected on the group, but it seems like I should not need to do that?
-
Could not replicate this.
Is it a text shape (point text) or a text frame?
Only text shapes are distorted by shape effects.
-
It's a text shape.
Interestingly I can't get it to happen now either. It DID happen to me, but it is behaving correctly now - not sure what changed.
There must be some strange corner case related to the set of tools I went through before trying this or something?
Anyway, if it happens to me again I will see if I can come up with a repeatable way to make it happen.

Actually, I think I just found it.
If the "Move and rotate objects considering shape collisions" tool is selected in the toolbar when choosing the "Create and edit 4-point distortion effects on shapes" tool it stays selected and seems to take priority over the distortion effects tool, preventing it from working.
Is that actually supposed to stay active at the same time as the other tool?
-
This is a bug, it not supposed to be active.
Thanks for noticing, added to the list of bugs.
-
The new build should fix the above issue with the collider tool activation and deactivation.
-
Thanks, finally got back to this and verified this is no longer happening in the current version.
