Thanks for the updates Morax. I tried what you suggested and for me it didn't seem to make a difference unfortunately. I still got the multiple nodes. Pretty frustrating. This bug is taking a long time to fix.

Thanks Hangman, That actually did work. The first time I tried it, before your suggestion, I copied it and then went to 'New From Clipboard' and that didn't work. However, when I copied the graphic and then went into V1, created a new document, and then pasted the graphic, it worked. Thanks for the suggestion. At least there is some sort of workaround for now.

Thanks Hangman, I'll await the fix. The thread you linked in your comment gave me an idea after reading it, that maybe if I opened my file in V1, I could expand the stroke, save the file and continue in V2. However, V1 won't open a V2 file because of missing features from V2. So I'll have to be patient and await a fix. Thanks for your response.

I have an object that I am trying to expand multiple strokes on and when I do so the curved portions have a lot of extra sharp nodes where there should be way less and they should be smooth nodes. I experimented and made a simple bullseye by adding multiple strokes to an ellipse and when I tried to expand the strokes, the same bug happened. I've attached a video of a portion of the object I am trying to expand and you can see the multiple nodes appear. I tried another experiment and noticed if I created an ellipse and then tried to use the contour tool to make it bigger, at a certain point it went from a smooth ellipse to one created with sharp nodes. I came up with this idea because to get around the expanding stroke glitch I thought maybe I could create a duplicate of my object and use the contour tool to make a bigger version and then bake it to simulate a stroke but baking the duplicate object created multiple sharp nodes as well. I've attached a video of me using the contour tool on an ellipse. This has been an issue for a long time and I was hoping 2.5.5 would have addressed this but it seems like it hasn't.

Hey Stokerg, Sorry for the late response. I was thinking that might be an approach but wasn't sure. I thought maybe the original Affinity Suite might be interfering with the second version. I'm going to give that a try. I had this similar problem before version two came out and I remember doing what you are suggesting. I dragged all my content into a new folder. Deleted all the Affinity programs, restarted my iMac and then redownloaded it all. It just sucked to have to reinstall all my assets, brushes, etc, but it is what it is. It's definitely easier now with the way Serif links your account to the software. Thank you for your suggestion, I will post the results here once I'm done. I also have separate folders for projects that are outside of the Affinity Folders. I only use the Affinity folders for practice work or conceptual stuff. Shawn

I have duplicate folders for Affinity Publisher 2 and Affinity Designer 2. On my Mac I have two Affinity Publisher folders that neither show an icon and my Finder insists on placing them in the same spot on top of each other. Further, when I open either folder in the finder (after I manually separate them by dragging) I only see my test files that I created in one of them. In 'List' view I can see one Affinity Publisher App has my test documents and one has nothing. Note: I do still have the original Affinity Apps installed on my Mac (V1), I don't know if that will have any bearing on things or if it is causing conflicts. On my iPad though, I had two folders, with icons, they are not on top of each other, and one has the test files and the second had all my other files. I say had, because I deleted both the AP on my Mac and iPad and reinstalled them to see if that would help. Now I have one folder on my iPad with the test files and it's the only Affinity app with an icon. It syncs with one of the two Publisher folders on my Mac. I have a similar problem with my Affinity Designer 2 apps as well. Any help untangling this web would be appreciated. My Mac and iPad details are attached in the attachment section.

Indeed you are right Walt. I should have checked that. I thought there would still be a "Check for Updates" option in the menu but I understand why it's not there now. Even when I opened the App Store, it still didn't show it in available updates until I searched for APUB 2 and then clicked on it. Then it finally showed my the Update button. Apple seems a little slow in forwarding updates at times. Thank you for the response.

I'm experiencing something strange. Affinity Designer 2 and Affinity Photo 2 have both had update popups for 2.2.1 and I have successfully updated them. I have also updated all 3 apps on my iPad. However, Affinity Publisher 2 for MacOS is not prompting me to update and when I check my drop down menu on APub2 there is no option to "Check for Updates". AD2 and AP2 both have that option in the drop down menu. So I'm confused because I was able to update APub2 on my iPad to 2.2.1. Why is it not popping up for my MacOS version of APub2 and why can't I ask it to check for an update from the drop down menu? Thank you.

Thank you NathanC

I will give that a try. Thank you for the response.

The font I am using is Archivo Black > Regular > 567 pt.

I wanted to add, that when I convert my text to a curve then the stroke issue no longer applies. This would indicate that this bug has something to do with text specifically.

Hello, I am trying to adjust my stroke on some text and the adjusting slider and unit pad are both being very buggy. When I try to slide the stroke up slightly, the adjuster slider goes straight to 106.4 pt or higher. Regardless of which exact unit it is at, the slider is all the way to the end. At that point, it won't let me slide it back at all, or it might go down a few points. If I tap the beginning of the slider, it will go back down but again if I try to slide it slowly forward, it jumps straight to 106.4 pt or more. Then I tried to adjust the stroke by tapping on the 106.4 pt sign and punching in 50 pt. The slider goes to 53.2 pt, then I try to get it to 55 pt and it goes to 58.5 pt. In other words it's all over the map. I am using an iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd Gen. It's running Affinity Designer (all three apps are installed) and it's updated to 2.2.0. My iPad is updated to 17.0.3. I was using an Apple Pencil, second gen. I uploaded a video for reference. Thank you. RPReplay_Final1697401343.mov

My Affinity Publisher 2 folder is missing on iCloud.com. It is in my finder on my Mac and it is present on my iPad Pro. When I create files, they sync and save between each other but nothing appears or is accessible on iCloud.com. The folder in my finder on my iMac is missing the icon and only says Affinity Publisher, not Affinity Publisher 2. Those aren't super big deals but there definitely are some syncing issues with iCloud and the Affinity File Folders. Does any one have an idea to a solution to this? Thank you.

Okay thank you.
