[Solved] [Bug] [Glyphs Mini] Pasted pixel components are added over previous ones

EDIT: Looks like the issue happens after PASTING between letters


If any pixel component is flipped, if you click any of the flipped elements, the Pixel tool adds a new pixel over it, instead of the expected from the tool: Deleting it.

Glyphs beta 2.1.4

Ah, yes, I strongly recommend to not mirror pixel components. Two reasons. You may want to be able to change its shape (asymmetrically) later, and then all components should be oriented the same way. Then, you may run into overlap/knockout issues due to path direction problems.

What may be a good addition is that if you flip components whose names start with _pixel or pixel, they are flipped back to their original orientation after they are mirrored (in groups).

Are you sure it has to do with the prior pasting? I think it was confused by the flipping. I fixed that.

EDIT: Made new post with the ‘not directly over cursor’ thing mentioned here.


There were some situations where the Pixel tool deleted pixels not directly over the cursor, but in the new beta can’t reproduce, will create a new post if I notice anything, but from a quick test it’'s working :+1:

@meckkablue Thanks, will try to keep it to a minimum or avoid :salutes: :slight_smile:
