Critical issues

[Vitaly]

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

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

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.
