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:

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?

I’m on 26.2 and never see a green outline.

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.
