Version: 1.5.0.5 Overview: When trying to make a new group of global colors, I select color I want in the color picker, then hit the palette button to add it to the group. The bug: After selecting the color in the color picker and hitting either the Add fill to palette or Add current color to palette as global color buttons, the actual color that is added is the previous one. The color picker also reverts to the previous color.

Overview: This was an annoying bug in the last version that at first glance seems to have been fixed in the new update. The bug: Enter a hex value and then enter a new value. It fails on the second try until the panel is exited and selected again.

Love this update. My gripes with some things like sluggish element selection and RGB Hex color pasting were fixed and everything seems to be working fine enough that I'm using it for a real world task. EDIT: Actually, upon further using the RGB Hex panel, the problem still persists I made a separate topic for it.

A much welcomed fix I must say. Sometimes it was hard to make out the labels without anti-aliasing.

Thanks Andy!

I can confirm that I have the same issue on Windows 10.

With the latest update to the software I noticed that the RGB Hex panel has stopped accepting new input values. A similar issue cropped up in the swatches panel color picker where the new manually input color is not applying the changes to the element in the same way as the former panel. I think it happened during this round of update as I remember correctly it worked beforehand.

To your first points I would say that basing the UI and most importantly the default shortcuts on Photoshop/Illustrator benefits those who come from using them. I didn't have any trouble picking up Affinity as I am already used to a certain workflow and changing that would be the cause of frustration and ultimately would have put me off just a bit. However, not as much as the subscription price puts me off from using adobe products, so there's that. I am sure that the designers of the Affinity products have made that decision quite consciously. That said, the similarities are not always one to one, they managed to fix a lot UI pain points that I have had with AI and I'm quite happy with it. The counterpart tools in Affinity are miles more user friendly and they behave exactly as I expect them to. My point is that you are, perhaps, a bit unfair with your assertions.

Note: I've recreated this bug a couple of times to confirm that it is visually broken Description: Preferences>User Interface> The UI color editing sliders work normally except the first two (Background grey level and Artboard Background grey level) only after the IU Gamma slider is used. Functionally they still change the background of the intended ui elements, however, the slider tip stops moving. Recreate it: Use the UI Gamma slider and then try changing the values of the upper two. Hope this helps.

Hey, glad to be apart of the beta! Is there a bug tracker of some sort where we could report them? I found a handful (excluding the font scaling issue) that I would be glad to write up.
