[Can not move object with mouse (with wacom tablet)]

Yes, this was bug on previous versions of Designer. You don't need to restart whole designer, just close the project and re-open -- this at least worked for me.

However from 1.8.3 should this be corrected. Do you have enabled Windows Ink in settings of Windows 10?

 

Just restarting the project works... Yes, it's enabled. Is it better to turn it off?

 

Btw: I just ran into your problem yesterday, too

I've run into this problem regularly the reversed way - pen didn't work but mouse did. I mostly (but not always) encounter this problem, when I start Affinity with mouse and switch to pen afterwards.

Restarting Affinity is my current workaround.

[Freeze on using color picker tool]

Hello guys,

I recently ran into some freezes with the version 1.8.3.641 of Affinity Designer on Windows 10 when using the Color Picker Tool. I haven't tested this with previous versions.

Most but not every time I use the color picker tool while some objects selected (doesn't seem to matter which size or number) my whole computer freezes.

After a while it's possible to use use the mouse again and switch to other programs. Clicking into Affinity will lead to another temporary freeze, eventually leading to a windows alert about the software not responding.

Watching the Taskmanager shows that Affinity keeps using an continuously increasing amount of memory and disc capacity...seems to be some kind of memory leak there.

• If Affinity Designer is closed with the Taskmanager the system goes back to normal after a few minutes
• The settings of the color picker tool don't seem to make a difference for the occurrence of the bug.
• Using the color picker tool with no objects selected works fine
• There's no problem on re-opening Affinity Designer and work again (with other tools)

You'll find my computers specifications in the attached image.

 

Maybe someone else could test if the problem is an overall issue.

Hope it helps on improving this great software.

Stay healthy.
