This seems so basic, but I don't know what I'm missing. I can't figure out how to select a picture frame with the move tool, instead the program defaults to selecting the placed content inside of the picture frame. I need to use the layer panel to select the picture frame first, then I can use the move tool to move the frame around my document. Is this a change in version 2? Or is it a preference setting? I miss the old way of single click to select frame, double-click to select content.
Also, the same sort of thing happens with groups. I can't select a whole group with the move tool, instead the program defaults to selecting the first object in a group and again, I need to use the layers panel to select the whole group.
Thanks for the help, don't know if its me or a glitch (I never had these issues with Publisher v.1)

Mine is crashing too. Previous versions were rock solid, 1.9 is fast becoming unusable. I'm running Catalina.

Plus one for being half way into a project before realizing such a CORE feature is missing--I was stunned that it is not included. I really wanted to love everything Affinity, because I really hate adobe's pricing structure. But let's be honest with ourselves, without some sort of perspective, shear, free distort feature the program is pretty much unusable (who can afford to be jumping in and out of different programs as a workaround for basic functionality). Sorry, but any talk of affinity designer being an adobe killer dies right here with this issue (I mean wasn't "free distort" in Illustrator 2, and I'm talking the Illustrator 2 that predated the Creative Suite renumbering by at least a decade... hands up if you remember when photoshop and illustrator each had different version numbers...)
