Gotcha, I think you were talking about within Affinity Designer.
Ok, now when I open with my Dual monitor it is working again, so I am unable tot test if changing to Metal will solve. If it stops working again I will try it.
Affinity Photo is working again as well. My experience has been when one stops so does the other. If it stalls again I will try both apps and report back.

## What's In My Way?
Same symptoms : Affinity Designer opens just fine, but any time I try and create a file or open an existing file.afdesign it stalls/crashes (spinning beachball of death)## What i'm rocking?
Affinity Designer 1.7.3 (started happening after update?)
Affinity Photo 1.7.3
MacOS 10.15## What I've tried
* Systematically tuning off apps and seeing if it works (including those in my system tray, upper right)
* Rebooting my system multiple times
* Deleting and reinstalling a fresh copy of the app
* Tried downgrading to 7.1
* Removing Library -> Application Support folders and Preference Panes
* Holding control while launching, checking all the boxes, and clearing all data
* Opening directly from file, from file open, from file recent
* Creating file -> changing to various presets (e.g. web)## What finally worked but is not a long term solution
I disconnected my external monitor and opned directly on my laptop.
Not sure why this allowed it to open.## Please advise.
Please review the Crash report and Advise, I would really like to get this working.Attached crash report to last post.

Started Crashing again, here is the Crash Report. Gonna go through a series of steps to see if I can correct it and report back here.

Its now working again. really strange. If it happens again, I will post my crash report again. Hopefully it will just keep working.

Alright, its happening again. Even after updating to Catalina it has once again started crashing when attempting to open an affinity designer file - see notes above for conditions of problem.
Please respond as I need to fix this as soon as possible, looming deadlines and all.

Looks like Updating to Catalina (MacOS 10.15) which took 14 hours worked. Hope no one else has to deal with that.

It stopped working again. I changed setting from OpenGl to Metal and it started working again.
