Critical issues

Hello everyone,

I’m using your app to design a personal project, but I’ve run into a few issues. I’ve described the problems directly inside a Penpot project.

Unfortunately, I can’t share the project using a public link — the “Share by link” feature doesn’t seem to be working, or I can’t figure out how to use it properly. Because of that, I’m unable to share the project here the way I intended.

So instead, I’m attaching Penpot file.

I’d really appreciate any help or feedback. Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Vitaly for your great reporting.

I can just agree with some of your points, in particular the Alt + Arrow, the pasted image outside from a background, the bounding box of the text that does not appear while editing another one. As I have used Figma for plenty of years, I have some habits I cannot retrieve on Penpot and I agree this can be frustrating.

I put some more credits on the improvement you proposed, about the aliasing of design tokens. It could be easier to bind a token with an existing value. Because you have to close the pop-up, find your token you’d like to report, reopen the token and bind it with the token you found.
Also on the sharable link :laughing:

About the Flexbox issue, this is not very clear for me. Could you share a screencast or something?

I see… Here is my :100: for this issue!

Hi! The first solution that comes to mind to avoid unwanted nesting is to use CMD+D instead of CMD+C - CMD+V.

Nope , its not a solution, it’s a workaround.
