Sure, here's a screen recording with the whole screen and with the Layers panel! I checked and the order of the layers doesn't affect the behaviour. Screen Recording 2025-03-18 at 2.12.41 PM.mov

When I click inside an empty rectangle (with no fill), it selects the rectangle. It's not consistent though: 1. If I click on a text object inside the rectangle, then click in an empty area inside the rectangle, it selects the rectangle 2. BUT if I click on the text object, click outside the rectangle (to deselect it), and then click on the same empty area, it doesn't select the rectangle. I'm using version 2.6.0 on desktop. Is there anything I can configure to make clicking inside the rectangle NOT select the rectangle? I have “Select object when intersects with selection marquee” turned off already. I've attached a video to show what I mean. Screen Recording 2025-03-17 at 9.25.19 PM.mov .

Awesome! I know this sounds very niche but it's actually a huge issue for me (this glitch happens to me probably once every 5-10 minutes) and it would be amazing if it could be fixed.

I can't reproduce with just 1 artboard, but I tried creating a new document with over 100 artboards and can reproduce the bug in that document. I've attached the test document. It might be important to do the edits somewhere in the middle of the document -- when it jumps, it seems to jump to the top left. artboards.afdesign

So strange! Yes, I just tested with the Arial font and I can reproduce. I wonder if it could be related to the fact that my document is huge (it has ~100 artboards in it)

Here's a screen recording of me reproducing it with the onscreen keyboard FullSizeRender.MOV

Yes, I can reproduce it with the onscreen keyboard. I'm using an iPad pro, the 11 inch 2nd generation.

There's a glitch where, when I type in a frame text box with overflow hidden and the text overflows the box, it jumps to a random far away location in the canvas. I've attached a screen recording. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a frame text box 2. make the box small 3. type some text and make it overflow 4. press the eye icon to hide overflow 5. delete all the text 6. type in the box again until the text starts to overflow FullSizeRender.MOV

Thanks for Affinity Designer 2, I'm loving it so far! Sometimes when I select text with the "node" tool, the selection freezes and doesn't actually select the objects (it looks like it thinks I still have the pencil down on the screen and am still changing the selection) If I resize the screen or click on something, the selection will resolve and actually finish the selection. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when it's frozen. I can't reproduce it consistently unfortunately, it's very intermittent.
