Beta - 1.7.0.284 The layer blend mode name for grouped shapes has changed from 'Passthrough' to 'Pass Through' which is not a searchable search term.

I'm never quite sure whether to report such minor things or not, particularly as I use 120% Windows scaling. Anyhow... I've noticed two buttons are clipped as shown in the attached screenshot annotated with an arrow (yay!). Both buttons work perfectly ok.

Just a couple of quick observations relating to the new arrowheads (thank you) when viewing with the light interface the arrow options are white on grey the drop-down list opens/displays the end of the list first

start Designer with a document that already has a grid showing ie View > Show Grid (active, ticked) create a new document - a grid is displayed on the page but View > Show Grid indicates it's not active (not ticked) selecting View > Show Grid, then deselecting it again stops the grid from displaying beta 1.7.0.243

[1.7.0.238] I can't seem to find a way to numerically change the Opacity value for the Fill and Stroke of a Text Frame. I think also the Text Frame colour is showing the 'RGB version' of the colour, when you compare the swatch colours on the left side of each of the opacity sliders.

Only a super-small thing, but within preferences, the drop-down list appears to be in a different order to the displayed icons.

I still experienced the same problem no mater what I did. I've now rebooted computer and returned Affinity Designer to factory defaults by clearing all user settings at start up. Happy to report all is back to normal again.

Sorry for delay in getting back to you. Snapping on/off makes no difference. I’ll have another try tomorrow and also test StuartRc’s formula to recreate the problem. Thanks.

See attached screen recording. This doesn't happen with current version (1.6.5.123) lag.mp4 lag.afdesign

Beta - 1.7.0.188 / Win 10 For example... 1. create any new document 2. zoom out to 15% 3. drag a photo or image from Windows File Explorer onto the pasteboard 4. Zoom changes to Zoom to fit (in my particular case 119%)

Hi Gabe, I'll try your installation suggestion. Many thanks.

My workaround is to use Inkscape's Path > Simplify tool. I copy the expanded stroke, paste into Inkscape, apply Simplify, copy and paste back into Designer. The clipboard copying behaves well (on Windows at least) and the result is normally fairly accurate. Of course if you've got a copy of Illustrator handy there's a more sophisticated simplify option available.

Hi Gabe, have uploaded file as requested.

Affinity Designer iPad v1.6.4.45 I’ve just purchased a set of brushes (Finest Vintage by Artifex Forge) which install and work perfectly on my Windows desktop version but they won’t install on my iPad (model A1893). I’ve tried several times, and have also tried restarting the iPad. When installing everything seems to be going ok, ie from the import brushes option I locate and select the file, it downloads for about 10 seconds, but then it doesn’t appear in the list of brush categories. I’ve also looked for them under the list of pixel persona brushes. The creator of the brushes has kindly sent me a single test brush which does install ok and works fine on the iPad, except when I edit the brush to change its properties, like size variance, the program quits immediately, or if it doesn't do that, it stops the drawing tools from working with any brush until I restart the app. I’ve seen a few other forum posts relating to brushes not installing on iPads and was wondering if this is a related issue and already awaiting a fix? Thanks.

Hi I believe one of the brushes that J.T could be referring to is 'Etch Single - Short 04' (see screenshot). I've also purchased these brushes and have on the whole been disappointed. I'm new to using brushes and was hoping they would behave like Illustrators vector brushes. They are, as far as I can see, just bitmaps along a vector path. (ie not really scalable vectors). That being the case, I think the problem for me at least, is they are much too low in resolution to be useful for my printed output requirements. In addition to their soft blurriness, I've also experience grey shadowy lines appearing when the size variance and pressure properties are changed (see screenshots, 100% and 300% views).
