Interesting! I just tried it out, and it works correctly! Holding the iPad at 90 degrees also seems to work. Generally when I'm drawing, I have the iPad pitched at 11 degrees (I just measured it with my phone; I didn't actually know that off the top of my head) by folding the case over. Thanks for the quick response—I really appreciate it!

It hadn't occurred to me that the flickering interface would be connected to the iPad's gyroscope! That sounds frighteningly complicated. Good luck to the programming team! I've attached a screen recording of the gradient map issue. In this case, it's a group that contains a mix of vector and raster layers. It sometimes works, but as you can see, quite often when I adjust the color of the different points, not much is happening. (It's a technique I use all the time in my workflow on V1 of Designer on the iPad.) It does seem to work correctly on the desktop version, though I'm guessing that's a far more predictable UI!

I'm in Affinity Designer v. 2.0.2.2 on a 6th Gen 12.9" iPad Pro. The behavior of the Gradient Map Adjustment layer is odd. The Gradient Map pop-up flickers on and off, and generally adjusting the values of the points on my gradient map seems to have no effect. If I exit the file, and then open it up again, it seems to work correctly for a bit. I can't seem to predict when it'll work correctly. This seems to be the case with both vector layers, and pixel layers.

Generally, when I'm working on an illustration, I'll build everything as vector shapes, block out colors, and then switch to Pixel Mode to add texture. In the Pixel Persona, I'll select the shape I'm adding raster texture to using the Move tool, use the eyedropper from the Color Palette to grab the color from the shape, set the shape's color to white, clear any stroke color, switch to the Paint Brush tool, and drop the color from the eye dropper into the stroke color to use with my selected brush. Right now, that isn't working when the Paint Brush tool is selected. (It works as expected when the Move tool is selected.) Nothing happens when I click on the color selected by the eye dropper, and all the sliders are frozen in place. (Even in the Color Wheel option.) I can use the eye dropper and the sliders from top menu correctly, but not from the color palette.
