Not only 2019 is crashy, same with all old versions.
For me, 2018 with its updates, was almost flawless. By far, the best version I've used.

TetroDesign • Stephan Tetreault Curious, off the top of your head, what were those major bugs... I want to try to recreate them as I haven't stumbled across them yet in 2017.
In my case, they've correct the PDF export dialog box wich didn't save any presets. Couldn't create presets, etc... Uncostumizable, wich it has always with EVERY other version even buggy ones!The transformation docker had issues, wich were also resolved, and a lot of other stuff... But still a lot of issues remain...
I tried the Transformation Docker again just to see if bugs, but actually wthout realizing, it's been used quite often and never a problem with it in 2017 with latest updates... so tried all the features again tonight just to verify and works fine.
I'll have to try the PDF settings also....
I'm so sorry, The bugs I mentionned were in 2019. I don't remember the issues in 2017.
Now, I recall one bug that often occured... I remember because it's still the case today with 2019.It happened EVERYTIME in 2017.I often use this tool then have to tweak. After applying a 3D extrude to a complex object...say...letters with serifs... Once the desired position obtained, try breaking apart the whole object. You end up with 2 objects. 1 - Your original object 2 - all the extusion result as a grouped object. Here's the bug. Your original object is slightly transformed with incredibly more nodes, thus making it more complex for Corel to manage. If you try this, be very careful! Corel crashes. Try it with no other opened file. After trying to tweak this original object by double clicking on it so the selection tool changes to the shape tool, everything freezes or shuts down. My workaround was one of these next two options.1 - By drawing a new vector object around this buggy one, combining them together. Then I can tweak it to remove the new object, then the unecessary nodes.2 - By selecting the buggy object, breaking it apart to then recombine it. Then again this solution doesn't always work.This bug still remains after many released versions... But, in 2019, I can sometimes get away with it, because it often just temporarely freezes. I have to click the workspace anywhere radomly to get it to 'wake up'. I can then continue working.Might you ask why I do this? Issue never resolved in 2017When I used the extrude tool, if I happened to be in a small scale (any standard size paper size scale) the drawing happens to also be too small for a good result. The extrusion ended up having very large steps. Once you added the lighting effects, it got slightly worse. The gradients weren't smooth.So then I tried with a BIGGER object. Cool! more objects to create smoother lighting effects. Problem, for I don't know what reason, these extrusions were transparent!!!!In conclusion, as of today. these issues still still remain but the extrusions aren't transparent and the freezes can occasionnaly resolve themselves. They were NOT resolved in 2017. To my experience.
