    I have a perfect example of why this tool would be a great addition to the program.

    I am working on a website and when I sent over the developer link to my front-end developer, he copied that text and pasted like normal. But when I viewed it on my computer, I get an errant box that is not in the design.

    - Snapshot 0: This shows the errant box that is on a live site.
    - Snapshot 1: Shows the developer link content panel for one of the design.
    - Snapshot 2: Shows the developer link preview of the content panel but does not show the errant box.
    - Snapshot 3: Shows the XD program design that shows a highlight (in blue) of two extra spaces.

    What I think is happening is that instead of doing hard returns on these copy, I did a soft return. Much like the logic when styling in InDesign, when you style a paragraph that has a hard return, the styling stops at the moment of the hard return. But when there is a soft return, it ignores that and continues the styling until there is a hard return.

    So, by having a hidden character functionality, this would have saved me the headache of realizing why those errant boxes were showing up and knowing what I needed to do in order to prevent that from happening.

    This is something we’d like to get more feedback on.

    a) Some apps (such as Adobe Illustrator and InDesign) behave the way XD does now: reducing fill opacity (not overall object opacity) keeps the whole shadow visible but reduces its opacity in proportion with the fill color’s opacity. At zero fill opacity, the shadow is completely gone along with the fill (unless you have a border, in which case you have a thin ring-shaped shadow left).

    b) Other apps (such as Photoshop or Sketch) behave differently: reducing fill opacity leaves the shadow’s opacity at full strength, but clips the shadow so you don’t see it through the translucent fill. At zero fill opacity, in the middle of the shape you can see what’s behind it completely unobscured, but outside the shape’s edges you still see the drop shadow at full strength.

    Which one do people prefer? Do you need to…
