Just tried it ... yes, it worked. Click it once it shrinks to fit within the screen, click it again and it expands back to how it was stretched out. View > Zoom was not an option but in that screenshot you can see how the app is outside the screen viewing area versus Window > Zoom it's back inside. Decent work-around for now. 👍

Yep, that's exactly what happens. It's a pain because there's often no part of the app to click on to drag, move or resize the canvas and pallets. Resetting is no fun because I spend a lot of time setting up things for optimal use and placement. Hope Dev is able to code in an update. Thanks for the advice. 👍

I Use all three Affinity apps on a 2019 15" MacBook Pro. Sometimes I just use the laptop screen, other times I plug into a larger display monitor through HDMI and move everything out to utilize the larger screen area. If I resize any of the apps to the larger monitor and then unplug and go back to just my laptop the screens remain where they were placed and sized in relation to the external monitor. Super annoying as sometimes the app is completely out of the viewing area on my laptop. If I was using it on the right side of the monitor (default placement is upper left corner), or it's been left expanded to the larger monitor you end up seeing just a fraction of the app on the laptop, which then you're stuck fiddling around trying to grab edges just so you shrink or move things around to fit back into the 15" screen area. Restart app or MacBook does not fix or reset. Using layout profiles doesn't make anything any better either. I haven't used Adobe apps for awhile, but if I recall they auto resized if you unplugged from a larger monitor. Would be nice to see if Dev could fix this or is there an easy work around I'm missing? –Cheers

Interesting ... so it only works with new native layers? Looks like I have to copy paste the work into the new layer to have the option, a little wonky but it works. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply ... (1) I tried the ole right click before posting, sadly I don't get a "properties" option when I right click on any layers or on any object. (2) Break-now worked. (3) Bummer.

Hello, I'm a 20 year veteran of using Adobe stuff and am looking to finally make the switch. Using a Macbook Pro Retina running High Sierra. The Scenario: Using Affinity Designer, basic editing of a vector logo shape. My questions are: (1) Is it possible to change the selected object highlight color? Not the object itself but the outline showing it's selected. By default it's blue, and my object is blue, so it's hard to see the difference. In illustrator it's just an option in the application preferences. (2) How do I delete a section (line segment) of the same blue object? I added points to the middle of the shape and want to delete the middle section and rejoin the points where the guides are to create two new objects, one below the guides and the other above the guides with the area between the guides deleted. In illustrator I'd just make a point between two points and hit delete, then join the open points of the new separated object to close the shape. Been trying to figure this out for awhile now. Hmmmm. (3) Lastly, is there a way to change the document guide color? As shown I have two horizontal guides I dragged down from the rulers, by default they are blue. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
