Problem with mould tool

[Sadler]

Apologies for hijacking this thread but I also have a little problem with the mould tool.

This is for Xara X1 although I'd appreciate someone trying it in Xtreme.

Can someone try this...

Open Xara

Import or Open any bitmap (I used various JPGs)

Select Mould Tool and choose "Default Perspective"

Select top-left node and shift+select bottom-left node.

Drag selected nodes down by any amount.

You may notice at this point an unexpected and undesired effect.

Now choose the Selector Tool and attempt to scale this bitmap.

What happens?

If one scales the bitmap before applying the Mould Tool you may get the little surprise a bit earlier.

Yes, this happens too in Xtreme. But once you have got over this little surprise you can continue to use the mould tool on this bitmap to change the perspective to your heart's content with no further surprises.

Seeing as there's a wee discount I thought I'd upgrade to try it myself.

In X1 (for me anyway) Xara vanishes! every time.

In Xtreme, Xara recovers after first getting it a bit wrong.
