This bug here, still existing, still stealing time, still annoying, ............ specially as Moderator been writing that this is a known bug .......... and still not fixed: Thanks Affinity for keeping this bug alive!

Bump, so everyone can see that this bloody bug is not fixed yet! What are you doing the whole day long?

Now I am pi..ed off too! There is no trustworthy workaround for this bug, so I could work fast and stable as it been before this damned update ...... bringing us this bug! This is more than dilettantish what Affinity is doing here, even knowing about this bug and not fixing it! Bug bringers!

Why not bringing more updates in shorter times, and fix f...ing bugs? Sorry, but just in the moment I have to work around this bug again, ......... and it is just so annoying!

I forgot: I the past I already spent plenty of time to report bugs, try settings, report ....... mail ............. but his is much more frustrating if you spend these times and the bug will not get fixed! So I will just forget about that, and live with ...king bugs ..... and may be in another years bug will get fixed. (there is one bug that really needed about 3 years or so to get fixed ..... this is fast ha ha ha ha ......... )

I would not use words as pissed off, or others like this, but: I you want to use a software for professional work, for earning money, for making jobs, for every day flawless use, then I been disappointed plenty of times with Affinity Photo and Designer. I am using Designer from the early beginning, and yes ....... there been many many bugs over the years, some of them really frustrating and annoying. Bug fixing (this is my opinion) never been on priority list number one for Affinity products, as new features started to show up, but bugs remained. In such moments I been ....sed off, and this is also reason why I started this thread. My idea: Fix any bugs that got reported, all of them, so no bugs are around anymore (will not happen, but most bugs fixed would be great) , ..... then you may work on new features. And bring these new features .......... without adding new bugs! Sometimes I ask myself: Who it testing this software, are they really "working" with it, or just playing around? Yes, I love Designer, ..... Photo not so much (I find it pretty overloaded, and no option to reduce the options, so you have to search all the time, if you do not use every day) ...... but I hat the bugs!

Thanks ......... for keeping this bug! :-)

No, not fixed, as soon as there is a layer with FX like a shadow, ....... same problem. See video! affinity_problem_03.mov

And may I quote this from Sean: .... This is a known issue that is with development and it seems to only affect the first stroke you draw after doing an undo operation - any subsequent strokes should be ok .... So why no fix then? Next update then ...... 2020 ..... ?

Thank you very much, ........... for keeping the problem alive and not fixing it on latest update, ...... so amazing, so awesome ....... This is the bad side of Affinity products, when there is a bug, it sometimes takes them years to fix it, .... meanwhile new bugs show up! Very disappointing! affinity_problem_02.mov

When designing electric guitar wirings, you have to add many strokes, and often you have to delete them, and make it new again. And also this is no workaround, cause as soon as you delete a stroke (when you went the wrong way), the bug comes again, over and over again! My suggestion to Affinity: Bring more smaller updates more often, and just remove these annoying bugs so one can work with your software fine again! And please fix bugs first ........ before adding more new features again, ....... and bringing us new bugs again not being there before!

when will pencil bug will be fixed?

When will this be fixed? This is really frustrating getting updates with new bugs never been there before. As often said: I would prefer a stable working app with no bugs, to an app with more and more almost never needed toy options, ..... please spend your time to fix bugs first, so users can really work again, and not having to bother around with an apps bugs.

Designing special electric diagrams is much brain work, and often needs plenty time of trying ... and again trying. If that has to go fast I still use a real pencil, a piece of paper, and an eraser. What I would love here would be an eraser tool that is working like the „whole eraser“ in iOS Notability app, or also the apple iOS photos app eraser when marking photos. As soon as you touch an object, a stroke, with the eraser tool, the whole object is gone. As far as I see this is not possible with Affinity Designer in the moment. I could imagine that this would be a great tool addition to Designer. What you think?

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!
