Walking Letter

Dear Xara...

More a curiosity...

Place a large letter on the page and add a Floor Shadow.
Click-select the shadow (Edit Effects > Shadow) and apply either or both Flips repeatedly.

The letter goes for a walk.

With Wall Shadow, the letter oscillates position between two states only.

I would say dancing letters.

Acorn You welcome.
It was a pleasure for me.

Thanks for reporting the issue and for providing a video. The issue can occur when selecting and flipping a floor shadow applied to any shape. It's not a new problem and I'd imagine it's not frequently reported or encountered as in most cases the text or shape would be selected when flipping rather than the shadow. This is however still worth reporting and has been logged as DDES-15074.

Thanks Bhavesh, the Flippers typically acts as flip-flops so the above is aberrant and unexpected behaviour.
