P: Can't put text inside a shape

Also, digging through this, it appears that a few of these shapes have this problem.  In these cases, as Arnaud pointed out, these paths haven't been closed.  You can do that yourself if you'd like by zooming in (to the bottom point), activating the Pen tool, mouse over until a small square with a horizontal bar appears to the bottom right of the cursor.  Click once.  You've now picked up the path.  Now, click again.  You've now closed the path.  It might take a couple tries to get it right, but it's not too tough.

But the first heart does work correctly.

Howdy Steph,

Thanks for the info.  That's the missing mojo.  You're right, this shape seems flawed.  I'll log a bug against it.  Sorry for the hassle.

Hi, yes definitely in the app and i updated it just yesterday and its still in there - there are 2 hearts.  Its the bottom one.  

Hi Steph,

I don't know where you got that heart shape, but the default one works fine.  Check this out:

So I guess this begs the question -- how did you create your heart shape?  I don't think that's the one that ships with the app -- or if so, it's been somehow deformed.

Thanks,
David

well at least that explains that - well done you!  ok, moving the anchor points is beyond my level of expertise.  is it easy to explain?  If not i'll google later    

Yep.
Need before to close the shape, connecting the two anchors points of the heart edge.
When it's done the text curved appear inside the shape 🙂 Tadaaaa !

so you can't do it with the other heart either?

lol... the problem is in the shape provided by Adobe... The shape is not closed at the edge of the heart edge 🙂 

Thank you.  Ok so the answer was no.  Then i resized it and it then gave me the circle icon and allowed me to do it.  I tried the same with my original but alas didnt work.  Would you be able to do the same but with the other heart shape in the palate (the one i have been wanting to use) - it's a longer shape.  I can then see if that works after resizing.  Totally fine if not - i'm sure you have other things to do!
