I'm having the same problem. Thought you'd like to know you're not alone. In my case I'm taking pretty random kind of parallel lines - elevation lines - and placing text on them so I don't really have the option of moving the line, placing text and moving the line back. Can be done but not easily. Move the green triangle and everything goes to the left including the orange. Run the green to the right to the end and then reverse the text usually does the trick. Sometimes that puts the text on the wrong side of the line and then I have to start over (in my case undo works) and place the text on the other side of the line somewhere and do it all again. Crazy slow but it gets me there. I adjust the triangles prior to typing any text so the dark triangles are not present with reversed text. Just noticed that my mouse is buggy - probably one of the buttons is not closing correctly - so that may be my problem. Perhaps your mouse has issues? Just tried it in AD 1.7.1.404 and there is not problem - so the new version introduced the bug.

Excellent. Thank you. Any timeline for when the beta will come out?

Thank you for your reply. I have a bunch of files that are too large - but I also have a bunch that Affinity can open; I'll work on those exclusively until the Beta comes out. I can open the larger files in Gimp if I have to - I'd prefer Affinity though; you guys are great.

Reported this as a bug prior to release 1.7. Apparently the bug report topic was removed when 1.7 was released. Any file - TIFF or DNG tested so far - larger than about 1.7 GB (that's right - GB) will cause Affinity Photo to crash when opened. The crash is immediate upon hitting "open' or when the icon is dragged into Affinity - so there is never an attempt to actually load the file. The bug was reproduced and reported to the developers - but I can no longer find the topic. I'd like to know the status of the fix - or if any is planned.

Bummer

Any feedback as to when it may be fixed? I would rather use Affinity than other photo programs but jumping from Affinity to another program when I have large TIFFs is annoying.

Just to let you know that the same "crash when opening TIFF files" that is discussed in the bugs in windows version forum also causes the beta version (284 and 293) to crash immediately. The topic is Crash upon opening tiff file By StruffelProductions, January 27 in Bugs on Windows
