I recently upgraded to Xara Web Designer Premium 18 and I think I've discovered a bug where MouseOvers created using softgroups between the MouseOver and MouseOff layer break when they are turned into hyperlinks.

Here's how to reproduce the problem. Can anyone confirm this issue, please?

  1. Create text on MouseOff layer.
  2. Copy text and paste in place on MouseOver layer
  3. Softgroup the two objects
  4. Set animation properties to Fade

Preview - it should work with hover effects.

Then:
  1. Select the Softgroup.
  2. Add a hyperlink, turning off the option to use default link styles.

Preview again - the hover is now broken: both versions are always visible with the MouseOver version offset to the left.
