  @VectorStyler Well, this is at two places. In the Transform > Rotate and Transform > Transform dialogs. I think the value control works (the one where you can either input a number and change with the up/down arrow keys, or it opens as a horizontal bar that you can drag left and right)

  @VectorStyler Ah, that's right! That's what it was! I knew I added the actions to the Preset Mgr somehow but I forgot how I did it. SELECTION! You have to select the group! Yes, that's what it was. It's not as obvious because the only indication that the group in the Action panel is selected is that more icons get enabled at the bottom of the panel. And it's easy to overlook. Maybe because I'm using a dark theme...? Will have to see how the light one looks.

  @pentool There is a bug with composite shapes containing transformed shapes. Can be replicated here also, will try to fix ASAP. As a workaround, convert all (including the lines) into curves before making a composite shape. That will "bake" the transform into the lines.

  @pentool said in Weird preview line after editing a node with the pen tool: Once you adjust/edit a node with the pen tool and then want to continue drawing the line, the preview segment will be heavily curved. It should be straight because the last point is a cusp node. Added this to the backlog.

  @Boldline Select by shape (and other selection) commands cannot select parts of the text only. I tested this, and here I get all text shapes selected as objects. So only the use of color styles remain for this.

  Try moving the shape - and the text will move with it. Select the shape first (not the text). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KmANbdIt7w

  Well, there are a LOT of grids. There are reference, parent and artboard canvases. They all can have grids (they have a little grid icon next to them in the Canvas & Artboard panel). Furthermore, all these canvases can have any number of artboards and they all can have grids. Phew... So even if you delete all the grids (in the Grid Editor) for all canvases and artboards except the artboard you are working on, you'll still have this issue. So not sure where the extra set of grids are hiding, if there are any.

  @pentool Yes, it was removed from the panel and only available in the modal view. I will update the documentation.

  FIX? Changing artboard position in modal view to move artboard guidelines also.

  @pentool After a bit more inspection, the bug was only half fixed. Additional fix will be in the next build.
