Text distortion: adding a stroke (after)--> changes the text size

[Pat]

I've applied deformations to text without a stroke and adding a stroke afterwards changes the size of the text.
If this is unavoidable, it is a good idea to remember to finalise the text before distortion:

@Pat Are these deformations Image Effects or Shape Effects?
In this case Shape Effect is better.

@VectorStyler I guess this is shape effects (through the distorsion tool):

@Pat Not sure from the image, but the tools only create shape effects.
These should be listed in the Shape Effects panel.

@VectorStyler Seems to me they are Shape effects:

I guess you haver this in artboard 5.

@Pat Send me the two examples of the first post. Not clear what could cause this.

@VectorStyler the issue is (at least) tied to 'transform':

Added this to the backlog as a bug.

@VectorStyler I'll send you this file again asap. The fill colour of one of the contour object can not be changed.
