It happens to me about 50 % of all time when I'm using the Paper Size dialog to crop an image:
No matter which alignment I select in the Placement drop-down box, PhotoPAINT uses the opposite direction.
This doesn't always happen, but it happens about every second time I use that dialog (and I use it often). It seems the error occurs randomly, probably not initializing some internal program memory location correctly.
This error is sooooooo annoying and frustrating!
Please fix quickly.
Thanks,

Hi DrawMein,
I have never had a single fail of the dialog box in 16 years of very regular use and I have never read of anyone else ever having this issue. I still do not believe this to be a Photo-Paint 'generic issue' and do not believe there is a bug for Corel to fix. I wonder if something else on your system is conflicting with Photo-Paint and causing the issue?
On second thoughts - with you mentioning that this has happened to you for several years across several computers - is your CDGS in a different language to English? If so, I wonder if it has anything to do with the language your Photo-Paint is in? I can't think why it would have any relevance, but computers are strange devices! I am sorry to hear you are having such issues though.
Best regards,Brian
Hi Brian,
sure, I certainly understand your arguments. I'd have suggested that path, too, if I were you.
Actually I never filed this error yet because for above two reasons. It never was the right time for me to file it back those years. (Plus, Corel Support never showed any reactions to my bug reports in their support web application yet. Now they finally informed me that this forum is the correct place to file bug reports to Corel.)
Well, I'm using a German version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6.2 here. Corel Support may find all other information down in my signature lines.
If Corel Support members request it and tell me where to find it I will send them a private message with my configuration file (or Registry excerpt). So they may examine it for investigation purposes.
Cheers,Axel

Hi Axel,
that sounds the way to go. I really hope it gets sorted for you as I would hate to face that issue on my system. I can certainly understand your frustrations. I hope your day is going well for you, mine reached its end (12.30am here), so I am off to sleep. :-)
Best regards,Brian.
Sorry, Phil, I'm not able to follow your assertions.
When creating technical documents - or when creating small animations to emphasize a false behaviour - it is necessary to have same image sizes available.
The Copping tool is (a) unprecise and (b) hard to handle when it comes to create a sequence of equally cropped images - at least it's harder than to use Page Size.
