Dear Xara,
since the latest pro+ release the back and front order is bugged.
Attachment 134313
Selecting the eyeballs and the pupils and send them back with CTRL + B, keep them selected and bring them to front again with CTRL + F, the order isn't correct as you see in the attached image.
bb,
Fly
Fly, I can confirm this Bug.Quote:

Select the first two and Bring to Front and Put to Back repeatedly - the stack order alternates.

Hey Acorn,
should i send this to xara or do they read/see it here?
thx,
Fly

and lets hope, now xara are back in the driving seat, that the perpetual version gets bug fixes too...
One reason more to stick to v19...
(others: the non-skinned UI works, no need for internet connection, and more ..)
Michael, we have previously discussed the merits. or opposite, of a Subscription product but to damn v20 Perpetual as well for a small Bugis nugatory.Quote:

If so, you will have all the existing capabilities of v19 and gain bug fixes, access to an off-line 'Content Catalogue' and actual Help & Support, direct from Xara with no Magix involvement.
I doubt the light skin actually works in all circumstances; @handrawn has covered this before and when I tried the Button Palette was unusable for me.
For this Bug, the workaround for those in need is Group, promote or demote in the stack and Ungroup.

Workaround: Group objects, arrange up or down, and then Ungroup as needed.
Hi Matt - will the perpetual version get bug fixes ?
as far as this bug goes, I looked at it with two and then three objects selected, it appears to toggle - if so then a possible quicker way to work round is to just repeate the operation so that it then toggles back again to the required stack order eg:
ctl+B ctrl+F ctrl+B instead of just ctrl+B
this avoids grouping which can add complication
handrawn, I had thought of and tried that but you need to keep an eye on the direction of required travel so the cadence would be either Up-Down-Up or Down-Up-Down.Quote:

@Matt, by not mentioning a bug release for v20 Perpetual, you appear to be disenfranchising many. Why buy something that requires you to buy an upgrade a year on?
Acorn
agreed...Quote:

I hope this is just symptomatic of there not yet being a pipeline for XDA Perpetual bug fixes, and that one is imminent; otherwise we have not really advanced that much from the bad old days have we....Quote:

As at v23.7, the Move backwards (Shift+Ctrl+B) is still acting as a Put to Back (Ctrl+B) when there are just three objects involved.
@Xara - another JavaScript counting FAIL?
UPDATE:
15 minutes later Xara released v23.8 and the bug was corrected.
@Xara - thank you.
Acorn
Very timely to revive this thread on the same day of a release. =D>Quote:

From this day forth, I'd like it known that the whole Xara team worked through the night without food or water, because I, ChrisM, posted a comment about being ignored.
I am the prince of Untimely Action.
No worries. Just as long as I can run fast enough ahead of you when they come for us.Quote:
