Created attachment 190585 [details] Screenshot showing first bezier with text correctly placed, and subsequent bezier with text incorrectly placed. SUMMARY Text On Curve fails if multiple text or bezier objects are placed on same layer. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create new document 2. Create new vector layer (shift-insert) 3. Select text tool 4. Single click to create text object (dragging to create text box also sometimes works). 5. Select bezier tool and create curve. 6. Select text tool and click bezier curve to place text on curve. 7. May require creating additional beziers and text objects on same vector layer to trigger bug. OBSERVED RESULT Text is not placed on curve. It is placed in the upper left corner of a text box that approximates the area occupied by the curve (see attachment). ADDITIONALLY it does not matter if the first text object is deleted before attempting to create text on the curve. This seems to "poison" the entire Krita session. All subsequent text-on-curve objects will fail in the same way, even on new vector layers, even on new documents created in separate tabs, until Krita is restarted. This is intermittent, but not hard to reproduce, if you go back and forth between creating bezier curves and text objects on the same vector layer. EXPECTED RESULT Text is placed on curve, no matter what other text objects are created on the same layer. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Intermittent, but not difficult to trigger using above instructions.
Ok, the trick is to drag out an area, which causes the text-on-path to be both a text-on-path as well as an inline wrapped shape. Should be easy-enough to fix, will check tomorrow.
(In reply to wolthera from comment #1) > Ok, the trick is to drag out an area, Yep! You're absolutely right. That will do it every time. I don't THINK that I was dragging it when I clicked on the path, but given all the things I tried to reproduce it, I wouldn't stake my life on it.

Ensure inline-wrap isn't applied when there's a flow shape. Also remove it explicitely when it is not necessary.
