I recorded a Video that "Move Tool" suddenly stopped and can't move.
Objects can still be moved through the keyboard, but not through the mouse.
The new file can be created, but the brushes seems work not well.

Hi there,
We are (unfortunately) stuck with a PSD workflow here, and will never be able to change away from that. Although Affinity Photo generally works well with PSDs, unfortunately there seem to be two very severe bugs with it where, for some reason, it only saves layers that are marked as visible. This leads to a ton of lost work. Here are explicit repro cases for both bugs, both of which are 100% reliable on our machines with the default settings for Affinity Photo:
Bug #1 - General PSD export bug where layer existence is saved, but layer contents are lost
Create a new file.
Create two pixel layers, A and B.
Draw an "A" shape on A, and a "B" shape on B.
Set A to visible and B to invisible.
Use File->Export to save to a PSD with the default settings.
Close the file with File->Close
Load the file with File->Open and note that although layer A and B both exist, layer B's image is gone (it is an empty layer).
Bug #2 - Save-over-imported bug where both existence and contents are lost
In General preferences, turn on "Enable save over imported PSD files".
Create a new file.
Create two pixel layers, A and B.
Draw an "A" shape on A, and a "B" shape on B.
Ensure both A and B are set to visible.
Use File->Export to save to a PSD with the default settings.
Close the file with File->Close
Load the file with File->Open and note that A and B both exist and have their proper contents.
Set layer B to invisible.
Save the file with File->Save (automatically overwriting the old PSD)
Close the file with File->Close
Load the file with File->Open and note that while A still exists, B is now completely gone - it does not even exist, let alone have pixel data.
Based on this behavior, it would seem like there is perhaps some kind of hidden option (or one we missed?) that tells the PSD export process to skip things which do not contribute to the final image. We would suggest that this should, at the very least, default to "off" if it is going to be an option :)
