Brush resize shortcuts ("[" and "]") doesn't work on Russian language. To change brush size I need to switch keyboard to English every time (Alt+Shift). It's very annoying because I type in Russian a lot and every time I try to press [ or ] nothing happends until I switch input method.
Most of other shortcuts work fine on both languages (like "B", "S" etc.).
Please fix this

Hi all,
Unfortunately this is something we are aware of and are unable to fix right now so at the moment as far as I'm aware there is no way to retrieve your old preferences settings/shortcuts. I will let you know if this changes.
Thanks
Callum
Thanks for the response.
You should definitely fix that in a new version, because default layout is bad IMHO, and I managed to restore my old one fast only thanks to my recorded videos of my work for my devlog.
Also I had to restore my shortcut settings for Brush Tool, Pixel Tool, Select Tool, Erase Tool (I remove all duplicated shortcuts, so it doesn't change Tool Subtype on several presses)
All other settings remain, but those that I lost was the most important anyway, so consider fix that in future versions please

Do you really mean you had a 1.5.x version installed or is that a typo? The 1.5.x versions are really old, long since superseded by the 1.6.x versions.
Yes, you are right, I had version 1.6.5.135, fixed that in my post

Hey, I just updated Affinity Photo from 1.6.5.135 to 1.7 (downloaded installer and updated old version). I thought all my settings will persist after update, but no – all my settings reset, so now I have to restore my layout settings, hotkeys and maybe some other things. At least Favorite Fonts and Custom Brushes didn't reset.
So, tell my is that so? Is that a bug? Is it intended behaviour (I hope, not)? If yes and it's because old settings and not compatible, why wouldn't you do migration from old ones to new, is that so hard? Is there a way to restore my old settings at this point without manually changing every thing?

The fact that Affinity Developers try to convince us that it's "not a bug" is so frustrating. Seems like they never used their editor and don't understand simple UX rules. This is really disappointing and sad. Ok we got it – you didn't think of such scenario while developing Affinity, that's why such strange behaviour occured. Well, how about to fix that now, when a lot of people ask for it? – "NO, IT'S NOT A BUG, GUYS! SUFFER MORE"

I started a new topic, since this one is pretty old and being ignored for a long time by Affinity Developers. If you have something to add, you are welcome. I also found an easy solution for Developers and one of the reasons, why this happens

Yeah, please think about Windows users. At least give us possibilty to swap Right Mouse Button and Shift behaviour or rebind it for Selection. Because I don't really use shift that much in Affinity, though Right Mouse Button for adding selection is super weird and unnatural. Also yeah, it's frustrating that I can't add selection with my Wacom.

Hi danmerey,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
This is happening because the bugged layer X,Y's coordinates are not integer values. Select it in the Layers Panel (with the Move Tool selected) then look at the X,Y coordinates in the Transform panel. Remove the decimal parts to align the layer with the pixel grid then merge it as you were doing. It shouldn't blur the results anymore.If you are not seeing the decimal places in the Transform panel, go to Affinity Photo Preferences, User Interface section and increase the Pixels value in the Decimal Places for Unit Types section to 2 or 3.
Thanks for a quick response. I actually had not-integer values in this layer. I changed it to integer, it didn't help. I also tried to change all Position Values to custom int values to override old values, and it also didn't help. Layer remains bugged. I tried to change "Decimal Places for Unit Types", it also did nothing here.
But I have 2 additional interesting facts about this bug:
- It is a layer that was in my previous PSD file (I recently moved from PS to Affinity), maybe that's what causes the problem? Some export layer settings bug?
- If I merge Bugged Layer down to New Layer, merge is OK and nothing blures. Bug appears only if I Merge Down to Bugged Layer.
- I don't think it's a floating point position issue, maybe it's some kind of Scaled Layer? I don't know if it's possible, but maybe Affinity remember actual size and after resizeing it will be not fully resterized and scales procedurally? It could be that, but I don't know how to return actual 100% size of the layer, and don't know how to check if it's not 100%
Hope, this helps and you'll figure this out : )

Hey, guys! I had the same issue today and found something that could help to avoid it and maybe fix it (for Affinity Developers).
I attached Affinity Photo file, in which you can reproduce this bug – merge_down_blur_bugged_layer_example.afphoto.
The thing is:
- I have one Bugged Layer, and if I merge something with it, everything involved become Blurred
- If I create new layer, it is OK, and I can merge it with other OK layers without blurring bug.
- I don't know how to reproduce bugged layer thing, but if I cope layer, duplicate is also bugged.
Hint for users:
- If you have such issue, try to find Bugged Layer (which causes blur bug with merge), and remove it, create new layer and work on it
- I currently don't know how to copy Bugged Layer contents without copying Bug with it, if you figure this out, let me know
For Affinity Developers:
- Please figure this out, why this Bugged Layer causes such issues, how to avoid or remove them (I didn't find anything strange about the layer, scaling layer and big size of it doesn't affect Blurry Bug as far as I checked)
- I attached Affinity Photo File (merge_down_blur_bugged_layer_example.afphoto) in which you can reproduce that bug, all steps are in text inside file
- I also attached PNG for demonstration of the bug with blur
P.S. I'm game developer, and I'm working on a game sprites and textures, and I really can't afford such sneaky blurry bugs in my workflow, so please pay attention to this one. It's good that I found this out pretty soon and didn't screw up my work yet (only got some blurry sketches, which is not that bad). I used to use Photoshop, and I lack some features sometimes, but I really like Affinity in most things. But this bug is really crucial, please fix it asap. Thanks!
