Text With Gradients Pastes Incorrectly Into Aldus Freehand

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
In ClarisDraw 1.0, text converted to bezigons, then filled with a gradient, pastes into Freehand with the gradient spilling beyond the bounds of the text.

To reproduce:

1. Launch ClarisDraw.
2. Create some text, then convert the text to bezigons.
3. Fill the converted text with a gradient.
3. Copy the text.
4. Launch Freehand
5. Paste.

Notice that the gradient fill spills beyond the bounds of the text. The Claris graphics development team is aware of this issue.
