<![CDATA[Adding component changes metrics]]>When I add a component to an existing glyph, the set width of the glyph becomes the width of the component. This can be very frustrating. Is this supposed to happen? If so, is there a way to turn this off?

In the next update there will be a checkbox where you can enable copying metrics from the base glyph.
