Hello @Chris J As you can see, it's the same lag and it affects the whole Suite, but now it affects the paragraph alignment. When it starts, even creating and closing a simple document can take a long time. It would be nice if you could fix it, because it makes the Suite unusable (for me). I'm available for any help. Thanks for your attention.

Hello all, unfortunately I have bad news. In recent days I tested the latest release and the lag reappeared (even worse than before), but now it doesn't hit Curves, Shapes and Stroke (a very light latency is still there, but it doesn't impede the work). Now the massive lag affects the paragraph alignment (only Align Left, Centre and Right. With Justify is ok). I don't know if the previous release (1790) was affected, because I tested it less and after I deleted the files for reinstallation. Maybe yes, but it doesn't matter. What matters is realizing that the problem isn't fully resolved, because this delay makes the programs unusable. Now I don't know if it affects other elements, in the next days I will try again the whole Suite and I will update the topic if there will be news. Alignment.mp4 Switching.mp4

Thanks all for the contribution. Unfortunately I don't have much time, but I tested the latest beta (1790) for about five hours. Maybe I'm dreaming, but the issue seems solved. The whole suite is more responsive and the lag disappeared. This is great news. Now I look forward to working with the 2.1. Thank you so much, Serif. I really appreciate it.

As you can see, I've experience with a massive lag with the whole Suite, especially with the selection/deselection of any shapes or curves. The lag starts after a short time with any file, and it extends to related tools (Shapes and Pen/Node), Stroke and File menu. The only way to stop it is to restart the apps every time. I used Photo for the videos (you can see them for more details) but the lag also affects Designer and Publisher. I have this lag with any update of V2, and now it also affects the Beta. None of that happens with the V1. It's been more than five months, and I can't work seriously with V2. I'm really embittered. Lag (Shapes & Curves).mp4 Lag (Stroke).mp4 Lag (Tools).mp4 LAG.afphoto

Hello @stokerg these are my specs: CPU: Ryzen 3 3100 / GPU: HD 7750 Unfortunately I'm currently using an old gpu, but it's a temporary solution. I've another gpu (RX 6600) but for some reasons I can't use it now. Is the problem related to gpu performance? Because yes, I'm also trying the Beta and it's better (but not quite). I also noticed that if I decrease the brush size, the lag disappears. Brush Lag 2.mp4 My biggest problem, however, remains the lag with the selection of objects (especially the curves) which doesn't affect the V1. But I will write about this in another topic.

As you can see. The tool is unusable. Brush Lag.mp4

Hello @stokerg, I have this issue with the whole Suite. I'm using the latest MSI/EXE version. I also tried the 2.1 Beta, but the lags remained. It happens with any file after some time and the only way to stop it is to restart the apps every time. OpenCL is disabled. Unfortunately this lag makes the software unusable for me. It would be nice if you fix it. Lag.mp4

It seems to work fine in the 2.1 Beta. Excellent work Serif 👌.

Thanks @NathanC. I didn't notice any issue for now with the new Beta 2.1. Great job Serif 👌.

Thank you too for your suggestion @SrPx. I tried this workaround and it works. But I noticed that this bug doesn't happen with any Arial text and it also happens with some non-Arial text. But now I'm testing the new Beta 2.1 and the bug seems to be fixed.

Thank you for your suggestion @Paulie68000 but unfortunately I tried this workaround and it doesn't work in my case.

Hello, I've noticed these bugs. When I try to use the Shape Builder with some fonts it doesn't work correctly. The same fonts (or font families) are also affected by another bug with the Boolean Operations. Both bugs don't affect all fonts and they only happen when I place the letters at a specific positions. Look the video: Shape Builder & Boolean Operations Bugs (Font - Arial).mp4 If it helps the developers, these are the same fonts that are affected by the bug with the Knife tool: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/172021-knife-tool-doesnt-work-with-fonts/ Thanks for your attention.

Hi @EmT I'm glad to know it. Thank you very much!

Hi @Mithferion, thanks for your info. But unfortunately in my case I've found the same bug with this font family: Knife Bug - Inter.mp4 Greetings to you!

I totally agree. I really appreciate the new tools and the hard work of developers. But we need this features as soon as possible. Also there are still many bugs to fix.
