Here’s a weird little bug you might run into when drawing outlined text at an angle in a window context:
Can’t reproduce with Xojo 2025r3 and macOS 15.7.3
@Eric_Williams can you replace the zip without the 20MB ‘My Application.debug’?
I’m always a fan of having screenshots in a bug report. What should I see instead of this?
Tahoe something with Xojo 2025r3.
Nope, I see the red text when changing the angle and the window size. Should I see the green?
According to Eric, you should see the green when:
- you change the angle to 0, or
- you click on the checkbox
Are you on the latest Tahoe?
As Eric reports this with 15.6 and I can’t reproduce with 15.7.3, maybe is macOS version related?

Thanks for the report. Then it will be easy to reproduce by Xojo and fix.
To clarify: you should ALWAYS see the green outline. Any time you do not is a bug.

I do not see the green text at all. After commenting out the red text nothing is drawn.
So far reported macOS:
- 26.x → no green at all
- 15.7.3 → working correctly
- 15.6 → green when 0 angle and when drawing off-screen and drawing again
Done, thanks for noticing that.

I’m on 26.2 and Xojo 2025r3.0 and I do not see the green outline at all, whether drawn offscreen or not. I tried running with compatibility mode turned on and still do not see it.
In Alberto’s helpful video, it looks like the green outline text on the W could use some miter limits!
Holy cow, that’s an unexpected result!
