dotCooCoo 394bbb37c0 Effects: placed gradients move and scale with the Warp effects
A gradient placed with the Gradient tool stayed where it was when the
object's Warp effect changed the outline, so the warped shape no longer
matched its gradient.

Under each Warp style the placed gradients of a path now move and scale
from the path's bounds before the warp to its bounds after it, as they
do under Free Distort. This applies to an object's own Warp and to a
fill's or stroke's own (a stroke uses its stroke-inflated bounds), on
the canvas and in Object > Expand of the fill. In a group with a Warp
effect, each path's and compound path's gradient follows its own
bounds, and the own fills of the group and of the groups inside it
follow those groups' bounds. A warp with no bend and no distortion
leaves gradients exactly where they are, and gradients fitted to the
object are unchanged.

This changes how existing documents draw: a placed gradient on art with
a Warp effect now follows the warped outline instead of staying in
place.

How gradients follow the warp is VectorCraft's own rule. What the Warp
effects do to the object is described in
