My post Why does Corel Draw Graphics Suite X5 feel more like beta software? explains everything im having an issue with X5. In an effort to log the issues with this software, Im asking that if your an X5 User and are having file corruption, crashes, freezes and other such fun stuff happening to you killing your time and money while in Draw or Photopaint, please post it here.
In order to keep it all clean and easy for someone at Corel to follow, please only list issues for X5 and not turn it into a discussion out of topic.
Please, there is no need to try to defend Corel here as Iv used Corel since version 4 (not X4), so thats a long time using it.
Hello,
I have got some problem with Corel Draw X5 Versions.When i type "Divehi", "Farsi", "Arabic", "Hebrew" using the windows default language(using language bar) with fonts it seems to be going left to right, but in x5 if i write on a text box it seems to be okay. but normally we cant write, because "Divehi", "Farsi", "Arabic", "Hebrew" these languages are written from right to left.
Maybe there is a Unicode Barrier in x5 that has to braked so that languages like yours and mine will be typed on CorelDraw. i use "fasyha thaana word processor" application named "Friend" wich enables language to be written smoothly in earlier versions but this aplication is not compatible with x5.
in Draw:
I was making a pretty basic diagram, used the star tool... I changed the colour of the fill and it crashed.
The message box just says "CorelDRAW(R) has stopped working Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..."
... no error code or anything (that may have been helpful), just about an hour of work gone.
The colour pickers are still not fixed in Draw or PP... eg. the 3D cube pickers still don't allow you to drag your mouse around to pick a colour, and the selection can go outside the cube colour area on the right side.
very minor: when you click a layer title to change it, it moves over left and the eye, print, and pencil icons disappear (but come back after the renaming... it would be more solid if the renaming happened in place. The main reason to fix it is if you click and then click to set where you want to type, the title has moved over and then you're back to not-renaming it mode. Again, this is a very tiny thing, but tiny things like this make the program feel a bit clunky/unpollished.
oops.
Davoid said: Custom Fountain Fill isn't working correctly steps to reproduce. 1. make a box 2, make it wide (~8x wider than tall) 3. change fill to custom fountain fill... make the angle -90 so it's blue at the top 4. set the 3 colours to blue, white (double click to make another colour point above the gradient), white. 5. Put the center white point around 40%... so it's going from blue to white before the middle of the fill and then just white for the rest. ... when you go OK, you won't see any blue in the box!

Sure it does. I was all set to write a lengthy post about how to fix this, but turns out it works fine for me. following your directions step by step it works just fine.
HOWEVER, seeing as I was all set to write something, I'll add this: Click on the interactive fill tool and check to see how big it thinks the fill is. Most likely your fill adjustment 'nodes' are way out there. Good luck.
I didn't see anyone else respond so sorry if this duplicates.

You're right about it working. I'm dumfounded because I could have sworn I didn't touch the interactive fill. I fixed the problem (as in the post), and I just checked the interactive nodes and they're where they should be.
If I ever come across the problem again, I'll check the interactive fill node positions. I bet you were right. I removed the post. Thanks for the feedback.
here are some specific screenshots showing details of a bug I reported earlier. The gist is I want a single pixel width line exported.
With antialiasing off, it actually makes the line width bigger than with aa.
Here's1. the original (showing how the pixels should show up hopefully... you can see the grid and the edges of the box go to the pixel edges)2. export preview showing without aa3. and with aa
Weird huh? I have no idea why the non-antialiased line would appear bigger than the design view.
