I see this bug still isn't fixed after some years. I've deployed the Affinity tools throughout a small office of designers, but this issue continues to plague us and prevent any serious switch away from Adobe. It doesn't matter how complex the document is (eg. a warning label with 4 rectangles, an ellipse, and 4 text elements) - the software becomes unresponsively slow after 10-15 minutes of working. I've tried setting the undo limit as far back as I can tolerate - about 10 steps. Affinity Designer version is 1.10.5.1342. My workstation has a 12-core Ryzen Threadripper Pro, 32 GB of memory, a Quadro P2000, and PCI-e SSDs in mirrored configuration. It runs Windows 10 21H2, build 19044.1645. Everything else on this system is blazingly fast.

The latest update, 1.8.4.693, breaks registration of wacom stylus position. The stylus contact registers far to the left, rendering Designer totally unusable. This isn't a calibration issue, and no other software is affected. Reported using a Cintiq Pro 24 with current drivers and firmware, brand-new top of the line not old legacy hardware. Windows 10 Build 19041.388. I have a deadline to meet, and now I have to resubscribe to Illustrator. After shilling for this product, now I look like an idiot to my colleagues.
