Created attachment 189541 [details] Knife Tool turns text into blocks SUMMARY When slicing a text object using the new Knife Tool, the characters turn into plain rectangles. While the result is understandable, it's not ideal. I think the Knife Tool ought to either A) ignore text (good for last minute changes to comic panels after adding text) or B) automatically turn the letters into paths before slicing (could be used to great effect I reckon). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new document 2. Add some text 3. Slice the text with the Knife Tool This was tested with Qt Platform Name: "wayland". Attached is a video recording of the bug, along with additional system info.

Git commit 3eb1880822b1e6d3d8f4d677ae1cf4ebd02951be by Dmitry Kazakov, on behalf of Agata Cacko. Committed on 26/02/2026 at 13:37. Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'master'. Fix Knife Tool affecting text shapes Before this commit, the Knife Tool would cut through text shapes, but not really cut text, but their blocky representation. This commit disables this behaviour, making the Knife Tool ignore those shapes completely.
