Description wqfz 2025-05-23 05:01:45 UTC
Description:
Linked text frames cannot be moved forward or backward using the Forward/back one or send to front/back buttons, neither can other objects be sent behind them. Unlinked frames are obscured or revealed as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create several frames and any other object like a rectangle.
2. Link two of them.
3. Change layer of rectangle, attempt to change layer of linked frames

Actual Results:
Linked frames always remain behind rectangle. Other frames change relative layer as either they or rectangle is moved back and forward using any of the layer changing buttons

Expected Results:
Objects can be sent behind linked frames, linked frames can be moved forward and back.


Reproducible: Always
