Skewed Text is buggy

Skewed Text is a trick I use to make text pseudo italic text or just to skew text in any direction. It also works with objects.

To make a skewed object, put it in a group, rotate the group, then undo and redo and re-select the group. You will notice the group selection box is no longer rotated. Now if you stretch or shorten the group vertically or horizontally, and rotate it back to the original rotation you will notice it looks skewed. Usually with objects this works just fine, but with text there are some glitches.

  • Duplicating a costume with skewed text will un-skew the text until you edit something in the costume.
  • Clones will not be able to display skewed text.

Example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/251952087/
The buttons have skewed text but the clones do not display the text as skewed.

Note: this glitch doesn't seem to happen in 3.0 but if you load said example project in 3.0 the buttons don't work, which is an incompatibility glitch.

Sometimes when converting to bitmap, it undoes the glitch, but other times it doesnt. I will remix your project testing with stuff.
