The - in the box Align to Baseline Grid means the value is inherited from whatever that text style is based on. You can have it checked or unchecked for explicit On Off setting or - for [No Change] or as I call it Inherited. I would clear it for this or go up in the Based on and uncheck it there. Myself for the most part I turn it off in the very top level and set my leading to Exact values. Only because that is how I learned to set type. I had to use physical strips of lead which were 1 or more points thick between the lines of lead letters on a stick. No fractional or percentages leading doing that.

Reverse Curve changes the selection
Old Bruce replied to arifg's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
It is keeping selected the node which is the second from the start of the curve. -
Migrate vs. promoted
Old Bruce replied to MikeTO's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
In an attempt to further muddy the waters; Instead of Migrated or Promoted how about Transferred To. This is as good a place as any to remind people to name each and every layer/item on the Master Pages with sensible unique names. Left Page Number, Left Page Header, Left Main Text, Middle Picture, Middle Picture Caption, Background Picture, etc. Use the exact same names on the various Master Pages as applicable. -
Expand Stroke in Publisher 2?
Old Bruce replied to Felderburg's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
Expand stroke will probably give you the Stroke and Arrow Head as two separate curves, so you'll need to add them using either the Boolean Add or Layer > Geometry > Add. -
Most important have all your files on your computer, not in the cloud, not on a networked hard-drive. Again, do not use the cloud or networked hard-drives. I set up a folder/directory structure with folders/directories for the three applications plus folders/directories for any none Affinity files as well. This is inside the Main Project folder. The Illustrations folder holds the Photo and Designer files as well as the TIFFs generated from those documents. I make use of symbolic links to link folders full of TIFFs into the Illustrations folder as well, on Mac these are quite similar to the Finder's Alias files.

Request : local contrast as live filter
Old Bruce replied to j3rry's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Can you not use the Adjustment Layer Brightness and Contrast for this? -
Using swatches in FX Panel
Old Bruce replied to NCOLEAMY's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
No. This lack of availability of homemade Gradients is mystifying. -
Styles with white background on name
Old Bruce replied to DJP's topic in Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows)
It will be in the Colour section of the Paragraph Style's editing window. You can see how the White Colour highlight shows up with a Green rectangle placed underneath the text layer. Here is how to get rid of the White, change it to Clear/None -
For 1. I too don't understand why the comma is being wrapped to the start of the next line. I can think of no typographic rule which would allow this to happen. The only thing I can think of is that the period/dot after the N is overriding a "good sense" rule that is already in place. Meaning that the red period/dot is considered as a full stop and for some reason the writer/author has decided to start a new sentence with a comma. For 2. I have to say that that is quite a requirement you have set up for the text (red text to be away from the frame edge). I doubt that it is something that could be automated. I think you would have to search for the Red Text and then, where necessary, apply the Character panel's No Break to a selection of text that includes the Red Text and the preceding black text's final character all the way to the first black text character after the Red Text. Obviously if Publisher would include a rule for no line starting with a comma then things would work out better. Still wouldn't fix your Red Text rule though.
