[Problem with "Fill area" tool in Affinity Photo 2.1.1 on Windows 10]

Hello I have a problem with Affinity Photo 2.1.1 on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 with all latest patches and updates. Hardware acceleration in Affinity Photo is activated. 

The problem is with function "Fill area". I have a document with two layers (the backgroud layer containing a photo and the foreground layer is a white page with a raster of black lines). The forgroud layer with the raster is active and has a opacitiy of 35 % so that the background image is visible.

I activate the tool "Fill area" and woudl like to fill the raster fields with different colors.  I tap on my touchscreen in the raster fields to fill them with a pre-selected color. The settings of the "fill area" tool are configured with the following settings:

- Tolerance: 50 %

- Adjoining: Yes

- Antialiasing: No

- Modus: Normal

- Source: Actual layer

 

With these setting I assume that the colors/pixel of the background layer are ignored and the complete raster field will be filled with the selected color. But this is not always the case. Sometimes only some pixels of the raster fields are filled with the selected colors depending on the pixel colors of the pic in the background layer. The size of one raster filed on the the forground layer contains 25 pixels of the pic in the background  This must not be the case with the  selected settings. I would assume that everytime all 25 pixel of the raster fileds on the forground layer will be filled with the selected color. 

Why does this happen from time to time? 

 

A second problem is that sometimes the setting "Tolerance" of the "Fill area" tool are ramdomly changed from "50 %" to other values. This is annoying as I do not recognise this directly and I am then wondering why the program behaves different than expeceted.

 

As English is not my first language I hope that my description of the problem is clear enough to understand the problem.

 

[Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program]

I also need the MSI installer package as I am not able to install/use software on drive C:. It must be possible for me to decide where I would like to install the software on my PC.

Another thing is how can I install the programs on a PC not having an internet connection?
