Just keep going with the pencil ......... is the only way to go, if I decide to work with the pencil. Yes, I can improvise, but, Affinity or Serif should just make this work! As long as I been working with Designer on mac, since the first days as I was an early user, I had double text in menus, when entering values, as stroke width, ....... now with the latest update this irritating problem is gone. So this been a bug for 5 years. And this is the one thing I do not like with Affinity apps, more and more new features, but some bugs just remain and remain. This is frustrating for long time users, and when new bugs show up with new updates, ........ no words for this. But: Yes I also love the apps! It´s a bit like love and hate relationship!

Another question now: For the cloning with the two fingers press and hold option there is no need of a long press and hold, that is only needed for the context menu to open up. With the two fingers option the other hand just slides the active object, and so this is cloned. So the long press action should not be a problem for the double press fingers cloning action. So I still do not understand why not possible?

No idea about another way of cloning elements, so we could keep going using the pencil? In the moment to me this is really bad, cause in my work I have to clone elements all the time, and this has to work fast, as it is when working with Desinger on Mac. If I have to lay down the pencil each time, I have to clone an element, ....... hundreds of times ...... I´m sure you´ll understand that this is not really productive working. Why not adding another command like multiple finger double touch, or something like that? This would work faster, and no need to put the pecil to the side to use a finger?

Hey guys, I paid for this software, and I am working with it, every day, and it has to work, period! Back in 2017: Now in 2019: Bug still there! It‘s a cool thing, working with the pencil, when you have to put the pencil to the side (for each new fu..ng clone process) , and use your fingers again, if you want to clone elements. Really professional behaviour, I have to say. 2017: Yes, sorry about this - it should also work with the pencil! We will get it fixed. 2019, fixed? No way! New features? Yes, ... including arrows ... wow, finally arrows which should have been in first release! I love and hate affinity apps, due to really bad bug fixing, promising and nothing‘s happening. Unbelievable!

still not fixed .... promised in 2017 .... this seems to be normal with Affinity apps. New features in updates, but no bug fixes!

Same here .......

Think I found the trick ....... check the scroll box in settings! :-)

Just got a XP-PEN Deco 03, working with Mac, Affinity Designer. Any idea what settings needed, so I can zoom in and out with Deco scroll wheel? No success so far, ........ need help! :-) Thanks!

That´s right, ........ hope fix will come soon. Other bugs found (not been searching, just normal work) with Publisher when using Designer Persona ........

Wonna say one thing, I already been saying longer while ago: Using Affinity Designer since the start, I not been happy with bugs, and the way (not really) these are handled after report. New updates been comin, with more new features (not sure if some of these features been so important new deals) but bugs remained. Now we got 1.7 .... the new Publisher, and new bugs, here with Designer. My question: Are we beta testers for software, we paid for? I want to work with the apps I been buying, I want to be sure, the apps work fine. I do not want to spend my time writing bug reports, test all possible settings on my mac, ..... no! I really like the apps, but I would prefer more stable apps when new updates show up, all problems solved, ..... and then when all done may be new features. How long did it take to give us arrows in Designer? ..... funny? .... nada ... this is not funny, this is just one thing: Poor! Version 1.6 Designer had bugs until 1.7 .... now with new bugs. Bugs Bunny Designer .... this is funny! Cheers!

Here another video, may be helps: When I make a first stroke, and after falling into super slow motion mode I hit the move tool, the stroke shows up completely. When I leave this stroke as it is, and keep going adding more strokes, ....... it now works as it should. If I delete the slow motion stroke, it will happen again. Video 4

Before you may ask: I tried all settings, started the mac new, ...... but no change of this problem. This is really frustrating, as you may not trust an update of a well working app. And as often, now one has to live with this bug (I really guess this is not my fault) until a new update may come ......... taking months ......... Just did the same with 1.6.1 Version ........ no problem, all fine! Thanks for bringing arrows, ........ and new problems! :-(

Just watch the videos. Before update I was able to work with pencil quite normal. Now these strange things happen! Please fix fast, makes Designer not useable for me! How can I go back to previous version, ...... have to work every day with designer? Please send info soon! Video 1 Video 3 pencil_bug_02.mov

ah, that sounds like an understandable reason for that. Thanks, good to know, so I´ll find a workaround for that for sure! :-)

This is exactly what I been trying, but no success. See video, always juming back to photo: info_designer_01.mov
