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.
Affinity Designer - unusably slow after a few minutes
in Pre-V2 Archive of Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)

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.
