Text alignment breaks when “Outline” is enabled in XnConvert 1.106.0 (Linux Mint)

Post by Luigi »

Hello,
I’m reporting a small issue that might help reproduce a text alignment bug in XnConvert.

I’m using XnConvert 1.106.0 - un*x x64 (Oct 12 2025) - Libformat 7.228 on Linux Mint.
Text alignment (Left / Center / Right) works correctly unless the “Outline” option is enabled.
When outline is active, the alignment no longer works — text shifts to a default or random position.

Steps to reproduce:

Add a Text action.

Set alignment to Left (or Right).

Enable the “Outline” option.

Preview or convert an image — alignment fails.

Disabling the outline restores correct alignment.
It seems that the text bounding box isn’t recalculated when the stroke is drawn.

Thanks for checking this issue,
Luigi
