Layers -> Text To Path Misses letters
Last modified: 2013-08-22 18:21:07 UTC
Created attachment 252778 [details] Example of missing path pieces. Recently, while trying to do meme-style outlined text using the Layers -> Text To Path tool, I discovered the feature was missing letters. Apologies in advance for the mild profanity in the picture but, unfortunately, I was unable to narrow down the exact case under which it occurs (believe me, I tried words like "BAG" and "WALL" on their own, but it seemed to work in those cases). In the screenshot, you can clearly see the two separate text layers, the paths they generated, and the transparent layer I used the stroke tool on. Hopefully this will be enough to re-create the bug. Again, sorry for the text, but my attempts to be more specific met with failure (or success of the stroking, depending on how you look at it).
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but we are happy to tell you that the problem has already been fixed. It should be solved in the next software version. You may want to check for a software upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 676413 ***
