  1. @R C-R default doesn't select groups. That's the issue, that I can select objects OR groups but I can never select EITHER.
  2. @R C-R from my use of Designer 2.21 today, re: "Isn't that in effect what the Move Tool selector offers?" No, the move tool allows EITHER group or object selection but NOT BOTH . Auto select seems to not select groups, in my usage, maybe because objects vastly out numbers groups in the document I've been working on so the program decides I don't want to ever select groups, but either way, it is what it is ... "How would a 'both' option determine if you wanted to select groups or objects in them?" I have no idea how this works! 🤣😂🤣
  3. Per version 2.2.1 The Move tool has a drop down selector for canvas selecting either objects or groups, but not both.
  4. There are some utterly bizarre changes implemented in V2. As stated above, this change is deeply frustrating when working with many objects and a few groups, I can't select the groups, or I can select the groups but then can't select the objects. Why the flying fudge can't I select both or either? And @R C-R saying that this was requested by some users, that's fine, but any modern developer should implement optin-optout ability for anything like this, so that I as a user can then turn this new feature off if desired. This is another fking hassle. Sorry I'm stressed as something that was previously easy to do has become tedious with this - along with other - "updates" to Affinity Designer V2.
  5. And bingo. Got it. The client had given me a source otf font face that was ~63Kb . Searching online I found the same font with a ~101Kb face which appears to be an updated version. Using this seems to resolve the artefact issue. Thanks for the pointers.
  6. Yes, @joe_l I have tested this by changing the font on the layer and I can't recreate the issue. It does seem specific to this font. Exampled; 2b is the Fucxed latin and 2c is the Franklin Gothic Medium font. print_pdf_glitch2b.pdf print_pdf_glitch2c.pdf
  7. @joe_l I can't disagree. The font has been supplied by the client and appears to be their own font. However, the font installs and works correctly on my system and the issue _appears_ to be the font being used as/in an Artistic text rather than a Framed text . I don't know enough about fonts to judge this fonts usability but even so, it appears absolutely fine on saves and raw images / afdesign files but has issues outputting to PDF.
  8. This issue is also occuring on other files using Artistic Text. Please see attached a seperate but identical incident. four.pdf print_pdf_glitch2.afdesign
  9. Further to last please find the isolated layer on it's own file. This file's PDF export still causes the same artefacts. prin.pdf print_pdf_glitch.afdesign
  10. @Callum I have exported, and I have noted that the type of PDF makes a difference. All PDF exports are 300 dpi and area = whole document. Issue occures on: PDF (for print) / PDF (press ready) / PDF (digital - both) / PDF (for export) / PDF/X (all) Issue does NOT occur on PDF (flattened). After checking each layer the issue is caused by the Green "Artistic" text layer. All other text is "Framed". I will find out how to send you the file on the forum...
  11. Yes I am reading and doing that now. Thank you.
  12. This exact same issue occurs to me on all Affinity products v1.10.5 minimum. Is there a scope that Affinity can release a patch for this as it seems to be that the OS updates that cause this are increasing....
  13. I have an image file that I have worked on in Affinity Designer and I export it to a PDF using raster DPI = 300 and none of the checkboxes ticked. The PDF export always has dark marks on it that do not exist on the original image / designer file, following my previous similar query about JPEG artefacts on Affinity Photo And the advice here to turn off Hardware Acceleration support, which I have now done on Affinity Designer but I can't stop these artefacts being generated on PDF. There are no elements on the image layers that these artefacts seem to correlate with. How can I improve the export to remove unwanted artefacts? IN DESIGNER: IN PDF VIEWER (Adobe) but also tried other viewers as well.
  14. No, this is what happens when double clicking on the child on the image itself. The solutions presented all seem like workarounds. Maybe a possible solution is as mentioned to select the child and press a key to move up to the parent but that's the closest solution so far.
