Is there a maximum point size to the drag font option. Also applies to point size in font menu on right of screen (circled below). I have just tried it and it limits it back to 3000pt. I also tried to change the letter size using the dimension boxes, which works fine with any size below 783.167mm which as expected is exactly 3000pt (Ariel letter S as example). If you try to put a bigger number in, there is no warning, it just jumps back to 783.167 again.
If I change the actual number in drawing area box it allows me to put larger numbers in. it's annoying as I normally drag to the size I need then fine tune with the point size.
I'm sure I have used the drag font size bigger then 3000pt in previous versions but can't be sure. Is this a change to this version? (x19 cloud )

There has been a 3000 point limitation for text for as long as I can remember but it is apparently possible to type in a bigger size in Property Bar, which is new to me.Works in 2018 as well but not in 2017, and only in Property Bar, not in Object Properties or when dragging.Strange.
it is strange - the main thing I like about coreldraw is the freedom to create without having to use scaling! This is a bit of a disappointment especially as it's so unnecessary. Still as I show in the picture there is a way around it. I'm surprised I haven't come across it before.

The reality is that with all this recoding the application will IMO have rough edges that need smoothed out for several versions to come. Update 3 does seem to be a good step in the right direction.
