1.) Are you using the latest release version?
Yes, version 2.0.0.
2.) Can you reproduce it?
Yes, as often as I want.
3.) Does it happen for a new document?
Yes, with a blank document.
- Operating system and version:
Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (Intel i5-9600K@4.8Ghz, Geforce GTX 1070ti, 32gb Ram, Samsung M2 970 EVO Plus)
- Is hardware acceleration (in Preferences > Performance) ON or OFF ?
Tried both. No difference.
- What happened for you (and what you expected to happen).
The program keeps crashing.
- Provide a recipe for creating the problem.
- Open Affinity Designer.
- Create a new blank document.
- Now zoom to the maximum and zoom back out (I use mouse scroll)
- After about 3 - 4 repetitions, the program stops, but the mouse can be moved.
- After a while the program window gets an opac overlay with the loading ring (windows says the program is not responding)
- (You don't need to do these extreme zooms, it just makes the problem appear faster. This problem also occurs during normal use.)
- Any unusual hardware or relevant other applications like font managers or display managers.
No font manager or display manager. Almost a fresh windows installation. Using a 4k display at native resolution.
- Did this same thing used to work and if so have you changed anything recently?
I was looking for an Illustrator alternative and saw that the new version of Designer was released. So I decided to test it and noticed that it crashed almost every time I used it. I tried to isolate the problem and found out that it is related to the zoom function.
ALSO:
After prolonged use (if you don't zoom much) the program becomes extremely slow. For example: You have two boxes and one of them is selected. It takes about 3 seconds to select the second box after clicking on it.
PS: I can also provide the windows "Report.wer" if needed.
