When using Affinity Photo at smaller window size, when the top toolbar moves any buttons/controls that don't fit into a separate ">>" dropdown menu, the "Alignment" menu option doesn't seem to do anything - activating it has no effect (in larger window sizes, it opens its own mini panel/dropdown/popover).

Was about to file this issue, but I see it's been a known long-standing one it seems. This is still happening in the latest (2.5.5) version. Made a screen recording of the this...the issue is indeed related to not explicitly closing the slider for Tolerance again, and just clicking with the flood tool in the image. the slider closes, and the UI is updated to show the "new" value, but the actual Tolerance is still the previous value. It only "takes" the new value if you explicitly close the slider first. affinity-photo-flood-fill-tolerance-slider-bug.mp4

the point is though...one shouldn't have to. there's no rationale for the top/left offset when pasting

wonderful, confirming that this issue is resolved in the beta.

came to post the bug, but i see it's already here... affinity-designer-2-transparent.mp4

Thanks @Lee D

Just checked ... no, no scale setting (for both my displays it's 1920x1080 at 100%) Perhaps it's a high-dpi versus low-dpi monitor issue?

@Lee D how odd... your process is exactly the same as mine, but it's not doing it for you. just checked, making sure i have the latest update 2.0.3 ... same results for me as before affinity-paste.mp4

@Chris Bah, found it. oddly, doing a search in the settings for "zoom" didn't show it to me (was lazy, rather than scanning over all settings options manually). the option is disabled in my case. but I'd say it's still a bug though, because this isn't the *initial* zoom. it's doing that weird "zoom all the way in, then back to what the zoom level was last time i was on that tab" dance every time i switch between them, not just on first opening the image

@Chris B i don't see any setting like that in the preferences...am I looking in the wrong place? also, to be clear: my images are already at 100% when i last worked on them, just that switching over between them they momentarily go to a maximum fit zoom level, before then immediately settling back to what the zoom level was last time i worked on that image, so sounds like a bug either way?

i don't duplicate by alt/option, and never accidentally hit any keys while moving/releasing things. anyway, let's stick to the actual topic here...copy/pasting or dragging/dropping things always trying to be centered, and ignoring the pixel alignment altogether

it shouldn't be an obstacle under the assumption that i always start off at full pixels, so every movement also being always at whole pixels would make no difference

we could also split this into a separate discussion, as this has nothing to do with the original bug...

So, to sum up: the "drawing a line from the last point to the new point when pressing SHIFT before clicking" is a feature, rather than a bug, but it's not mentioned in the help/documentation. This aspect should be documented, rather than being a surprise feature. the one part that *is* a genuine bug seems to be the very first shift and click, which draws a line from the 0/0 origin to the current position

is this documented anywhere? i looked over the help files, but didn't spot anything about connected lines
