This bug happens on version 1.10.5.1342, on Windows 10. In french language, certain words like "œuvre" or "œil" use the "œ" (capitalized Œ), character, that is usually auto-corrected from "oe". The bug only occurs with the capitalized version (typing Oeuvre and then typing space to trigger auto-correct will cause crash). You can recreate it on a new document : Create a text frame Type "Oeuvre" (uppercase on the "O") Press space bar to trigger autocorrect to "Œuvre" You may have to turn system language or spelling dictionary to french. You can try the same thing with the lowercase "o" (which doesn't cause crash) to see how it should work.

(Woah that's really cool !!) That's a perfect exemple ! I just want the devs to be aware that it is really a important feature that's currently missing from both Photo and Designer and it would improve the workflow a lot if we didn't have to resolve to workarounds with duplicated layers or masks. If I have to redo the whole mask everytime I add pixels or shapes to the group, or every time I want to move them, then I think it's just not working the way clipping masks should ! Especially because in real production, it's never just 3 circles but a bunch more shapes, or complex drawings like the one Neil showed here (and really, it's basic stuff but I want to be move them and have the clipping layer match the group in real time). But I really appreciate what you guys are proposing as solutions, it's just not what we're after. Hopefully this still goes into some kind of future todo list for the devs, that's why i'm writting this ^^ I'm sure there's a clever way to make groups work with the current "drag inside" system (if not, something similar to Photoshop would also be great).

I'd like to bump this issue This has been kind of a deal breaker for me, for the moment (still happy to support the project though, it's a wonderful piece of software). Even with the "drag inside" method (which I get, it's not Photoshop, doesn't have to be, and it's a really fine and intuitive way to clip things), it really needs a way to handle groups, without merging or duplicating the layers/shapes (all of the workaround I've seen involves one of those two things, and it's really not great, it breaks the workflow, and you have to manage a lot of duplicated layers). I would love to see this feature come to Affinity Photo and also Designer !

Thanks for the reply ! That will do for Affinity Photo (not available in Designer I believe). Still think the Ctrl shortcut to erase should be a thing, in both Affinity Designer and Photo though, that would be so practical, and simple/elegant in design !

Hello, (Sorry if my english is not perfect, not my first language) When i'm digital painting, I often need to switch between the brush and the eraser very quickly while keeping the same brush style, size and opacity. It's really annoying to just want to erase a tiny mistake, switch to the eraser and realize your eraser brush is in a completely different style and having to change all its settings just for one click. With the pixel tool, you can just press Ctrl to quickly erase, it's so perfect, I wish it was the same on the paint brush. It's one of the most awesome feature in Krita, the "eraser mode" which does exactly that (keeps your current brush setting) when you press E, and you can kind of do it in Photoshop with the "Eraser" blending mode of the brush. This goes for the brush tool in the Pixel persona of Affinity Designer, but also for the brush tool in Affinity Photo. I would love to see this feature go in, it's a tiny change but it makes a huge difference in the painting workflow Feel free to tell me if there's another way to have the eraser keep your paint brush current setting, i'm new to the software ! Thanks for the awesome software and the great price ! Alexandre
