Personally, I do not understand why you think there is a bug from this screen capture alone. Maybe because I am that familiar with penpot and figma, but still, I do not find it obvious.

This is why it's important to describe explicitly the three points in text:

- steps to reproduce;

- what you expected to happen;

- what actual result you observe instead.

Something that might be obvious to you but isn't for others will just be silently ignored most of the time.

EDIT: I now see the problem after reading your other reply above:

This is why it's important to describe explicitly the difference between what you expected and what you observed. I swear I did not see the change in button width before reading the linked comment.

That is a fair point. I will take it on board when giving people screenshots and videos of bugs in future.

There's actually a lot more visual changes than that just the button, but I will leave that to the reader as an exercise in spot-the-difference ;)

I didn’t either! I stared at that gif for a few minutes and I couldn’t tell what the problem is (or what to look for). It wasn’t until you said “changing button width” I knew where to focus my attention.
