A bug related to groups inside board

Help us improve Penpot
1

Hi there,
I found a bug and I’d like to report it.

Follow these steps:

  • create a board
  • create a shape (upload image, rectangle, circle) outside of the board (it’s important that it’s outside)
  • move that shape inside the board
  • right click on the shape and select group to put it in a group.
  • try resizing the group. (use drag-drop of the corner points, or use the width/height inputs in the right panel)

It doesn’t work! You can’t resize the shape anymore.
But if you create the shape inside the board, then make a group, it works and you can resize.
I made a screen recording but apparently new users can’t upload in the community. Here’s a mega.nz link of the recording.

Hi @Pouya,

Are you still experiencing this issue? I haven’t been able to reproduce it as of today.

I’ve opened an issue on Taiga so that we can look further into this! You can find it here.

Yes, it definitely exists.

I ran Penpot locally and tried different releases to see when this bug was introduced.
It was introduced on 2.2.0. On previous release (2.1.2) everything’s fine!
That was two month’s worth of commits so I couldn’t really check to see which commit introduced this.

Just to share an update on this: the team is already working on a fix!

The issue is related to constraints. When you create a group, the constraints should be changed to “scale/scale” but the constraints are “left/top”. While we work on the fix, as a workaround, you can change the constraints manually to “scale/scale” so it behaves correctly.
