Penpot bug report on text rendering overrides

Plugin/API-created component instances keep stored text overrides, but canvas and export render master text

I found a tighter Penpot repro that looks like a real bug, and I’m opening a GitHub issue for it.

Short version:

  • create real component instances from library assets
  • update text on the instance
  • the updated text is present in the live shape data
  • but the canvas and export still render the master/default text

So this seems to be a render / override-application problem, not just a bad plugin write.

I’m using this in a local Event Modeling workflow, but the issue seems more general than that.
