I have the same problem. This has happened several times -- usually after an update, when it always seems to happen, but today it happened when I simply pressed Command-Tab to move to another program. After tools, panels, etc. disppeared, pressing the tab key brought back most but not the panels. In Affinity 2 "View>Studio>Resert studio" is no longer there, but I was able to go to Windows > Studio > Show Studio. But this sudden disappearance of everything is really annoying.

Affinity 2 has the same problem, if not worse, of the panels disappearing, which happened to me with Affinity 1, but worse because this time just about everything else vanished, too: tools, toolbars, etc. I could get most back by using the "View" menu to show tools, etc., but not the panels to the right. Fortunately, web searching led to this page and it turns out the same solution still applies: hold the control key while restarting and then choose "reset studio." But it's a shame this is required. Any hope of making this more stable?

But fixing an obvious bug is not the same as a random feature request. This really limits the usefulness for those creating complex documents with multiple artboards.

I am extremely limited by bugs in Affinity in which simple copy and paste operations can result in unpredictable changes in line widths. Many times a set of objects will paste with different line widths, making some objects much thicker or some seem to disappear because the thickness is so small. This happens especially when pasting to another artboard, but can also happen between files or occasionally within a file. Was happening sporadically before on Mac OSX 11.6.4, but after my Mac update to 11.6.5 today it seems much worse. Using Affinity Designer 1.10.5, latest version. Was happening on prior version as well. Any way to prevent this?
