@Egg, do also check you have not applied Repel text under to both the Shape and the Text object.

Just had some weird effects with (A) Shape+RTU over (B) Text Area+RTU over (C) Text Area.
  • (A) only repels (C).
  • (B) repels (C) during a Drag but not after a Drop.
  • (B) shows a repel of a copy of itself (B') and (C) during a Drag.
  • (B) shows (B') during any resize until a Drop [(C} behaves normally].
  • (A) repel (B) and (C) when (A) is over both and (B) is over (C).

When I tried to change Text colours, I could not.
I then twigged that (C) was linked to (B).
When I broke the link, I had a saner evening:

  • (B) repels (C).
  • (A) repels (C).
  • (A) does not repel (B).
