It's sad and also most annoying that Affinity doesn't do this. There are so many things about Affinity that are so efficient and sensible. But this is a serious absence. We should be able to select anything and easily drag copies of it to the same layer. It is so easy to be confused about which layer it is being pasted to, when all you want is for it to remain in the layer you are working on. This is continually disrupting my work flow.

I was inking successfully for days without this issue and changed nothing in my setup. Suddenly, when changing tools (or doing an UNDO) using the buttons on my Bamboo WACOM, it causes my Affinity Designer canvas to jump to a different location as if the buttons are not only changing tools but triggering a canvas repositioning. This happened the other day and I after a lot of frustration I thought I had figured it and it went away for a while... but now it is back again and has nothing to do with what i figured out before. Things were working fine for more than an hour today without any issues and then all of a sudden it is doing this again, and it's driving me INSANE. What on earth could be causing the canvas to jump to a different location with a button click? And on occasion I also get a unexpected canvas rotation too, and I can never figure out what on earth I did to rotate the canvas. Fortunately I found the reset rotation option in the menu, but since this is also related to the canvas doing something I don't want it to do, maybe it is connected with the other problem I am having with the buttons, described above. If anyone can suggest anything, I would appreciate it. This is really interfering with my workflow. Thanks in advance. Lloyd F. Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Bamboo Wacom, Affinity Designer 1.8.3

This is exactly the command I was looking for. I knew there must be a quick and easy way to deselect. Thank you!!

I just experienced this 3 times trying to do some lettering for a comic with the brush and using pressure. I was so impressed with how smooth and snappy it is, thinking "WOW... this is way better than doing this in Illustrator"... but then Affinity Designer would quickly hang and the beach ball would keep spinning. It happened 3 times (and I tried it on documents with different resolutions too) before I realized this is a repeatable bug and not something I am going to be able to do until this is fixed. Glad to see I am not alone if it means it is likely to be addressed in a soon-coming update. (Aside from this disappointment, I am LOVING Affinity Designer very much!)
