HI THANKS I have discovered a workaround that I suppose satisfies most users in that when you select your active text box/frame with the selection tool, you can change fonts and attributes without the highlighting but you do have the bounding box...acceptable for now. Hard to get over old habits ha

I don't see a method to hide the highlighting on selected text to allow a clear view when picking among font families and styles. In ADOBE, command/control H does the trick and it is a necessity in the practice of Graphic Design....and I can't believe to is not available in Affinity Designer. Come on people, please endeavour to catch up...how could this elementary feature not have been included in one of the many recent updates? Thanks William MacDonald

Is there no way to hide the selection highlighting in active text when making font choices? Hard to believe, my my my seems elementary?!

Yes, all up to date Ventura 13.4.1

when navigating between apps using Mac DOCK my current Designer file doesn't not reappear as the active window. I need to go to File-recent files. I'm using latest Ver. 2.1.1

hmmm not really pro level typography here in spite of the many features Designer app does have. I was also informed there is no way to display hidden characters, spaces, para returns etc. wha wha wha...

New to Affinity Designer and surprised to have a problem finding a way to hide the highlighting of selected text, which is making it difficult to evaluate font choices for a new design layout. Yes Adobe caters to this and has for decades with the simple Command/H keyboard shortcut to hide the highlight and make the active font entirely visible while editing. Am I missing something or is this feature not available?

I could not agree more that lock and visibility icons are needed. Surely easy to implement? and an industry standard UX feature. Locking and unlocking are vital actions in the vector illustration workflow and in the viability of the whole concept of layers IMHO!
