Hi @NathanC, great news! Many thanks to all the other contributors on this thread as well, I didn't expect much interest but I like to be proven wrong
Will you be updating this thread when/if there's an update from engineering?

The thread is tagged with the issue ref, so if there are any updates to the issue internally the Serif Info bot will automatically reply to this thread. 🙂

Hi @Jordan Becker,
Many thanks for providing detail, i've logged this accent issue with the developers to look into further. 👍

And by the way, it doesn't matter the accent, nor uppercase/lowercase. Issue is happening with other common accents —in French at least, maybe other languages too such as Spanish with the ñ.
 
The filename appears as follows in Finder and in Affinity menu bar:
test accents à é è ê ù ç ñ À É È Ê Ù Ç Ñ

Happening on Affinity Designer 2.4.0 —but this seemed to be happening forever, I just never took the time to report it.
When printing a document and checking the "Include page information" with a filename including an accentuated character, such as "Étiquette", the printed mark will read "E´tiquette".
Not a major issue by any mean, but rather an annoyance for us non-native English speakers relying on file name for versioning purposes, as this reduces legibility of the marks. Seems like the font chosen for the marks supports accents without any issue so I guess this would not be that hard to fix —bear with me if it actually is, I'm a software engineer myself I know "seemingly simple" fixes aren't always.
Cheers,
Jordan
 
 
 

I encountered a quite annoying UI bug in both Designer and Photo when using Live Perspective filter + artboards.
It seems that render glitches appear on the canvas pretty randomly, in addition to a "border stretch" effect of what's displayed on the border of the artboard. The "border stretch" glitch can be somewhat workaround by reducing the size of the artboard content as to add some padding to the artboard. However the other glitches remain.
Moreover, the glitches "update" on each canvas resize/zoom as you may see on the different screenshots attached. I am also attaching two files that show the issue.
While these are .afdesign files, sending them over to Photos actually leads to the same glitches.
These are using artboards, Live Perspective filter and symbols.
Versions:
- Designer 1.10.4
- Photo 1.10.4
- macOS 12.2.1
 
FYI, I tried disabling GPU acceleration, changing display rendering from metal to CPU, and any possible combination of both without success.
 
Hope this can get fixed sometime!
