Thanks Mark.

The first crash is still occurring on both the new release versions of AP 1.5.0.44 (RC) and AD 1.5.1.43 at all times. The second crash is still occurring on the newest release of AP 1.5.0.44 (RC) at all times.

Here is a crash report for the Unhandled Exception error: 0x80004003. 7fc3a235-f070-4ac0-adc1-c4e4b1eda370.dmp

When click dragging the Eye Dropper on the Color Palette (not the tool bar) AP crashes with an Unhandled Exception error: 0xC0000005. This crash also occurs on the released version of Affinity Designer if it's the first thing you do when you open that app. The second crash occurs in AP after you select a vector shape on the tool bar and ALT drag it on the document, with Unhandled Exception error: 0x80004003. I was trying to draw a new shape from the cursor center, instead of a corner.

Hi Chris, my scaling factor is set to 150%. Under "Advanced sizing of text and other items" on the "Advanced display settings" screen, I've set all the "Change only text size" drop down items to 12 points except Icons which is set to 11 points. Without these settings the UI becomes to small. I'm still getting an "Unhandled Exception" crash, Code: 0xC0000005 whenever I first open up AD and the first thing I do is drag the eye dropper from the Color palette. Can you reproduce this?

I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough about the View Point bug. Here are the steps to recreate it: 1. I assigned the PageUp and PageDn keys to "Move to Previous View Point" and "Move to Next View Point" in Preferences. (see attachment) 2. I set several View Points in a document. 3. I opened another document and set some View Points in it. 4. When using the PageUp or PageDn keys in the document in which I just assigned them, these keys work fine. 5. Switch to the new document using tab (which also had View Points assigned to it) and the PageUp and PageDn short cut keys no longer work. 6. If you use the drop down list of View Points the short cut keys for View Points work again. If you close AD and reopen it, the short cut keys for View Points work. If you then switch tabs to the other document the View Point short cut keys no longer work, until you select them from the drop down list of View Points in the Navigator > Advanced palette. I'm almost certain this worked in previous versions before 1.5.0.29 since I used them all the time (but I can't swear to it). Thanks for your help, I hope this clears up the bug reporting. HTH

Hi Chris, Thanks for responding. I'm sure the display problem is due to my display resolution (see below). But I had the truncation problem with the point size display of the stoke that was just recently resolved. I'll give you the steps to reproduce the View Point problem in my next post. By the way, when I tried to reproduce this, I had AD crash several times when clicking and dragging the eye dropper tool in the color palette. It finally worked after I did some other things first. You probably want to look at that crash. Here is a screen shoot of the truncated RGB display:

Great progress! Congrats... A couple of bugs: View Points - documents saved with view points stop working with shortcut keys when you switch between open documents. They work again when you go to and select a view point in the drop down menu. It also failed in some other instances but I don't remember what they were. This used to work fine. Truncation - Color panel Eye Dropper - RGB display hint - B value gets truncated by 2 digits. This has never worked correctly.

I had this problem many times. It got fixed in a newer versions, and then got broken again in recent versions. It is currently fixed in version 1.5.0.15. What caused it to happen was Alt clicking or dragging with the RIGHT ALT key. You might want to test on your system to see it that key combination breaks the short cut keys. But like I said it is fixed in this version. HTH

Thanks Chris!

Using the Right Alt Click still looses the Keyboard Shortcuts. This was fixed at one time, but this bug is back in the last several versions.

Right Alt+Dragging and loosing the short cut keys is again an issue for me in the last 2 betas. 1.5.0.11 I reported it in the last beta.

View Points do not always return to the right position when adding or moving Artboards. 1. Create an Artboard. 2. Set a View Point that fits it to the screen. 3. Zoom anywhere, then re-select the View Point... Everything is fine. 4. Create a new Artboard above the first one. 5. Select the View Point... It is not in the same original position. Moving the 2nd Artboard around the first will sometimes return it to the original position of the View Point when selecting that View Point, and sometimes it doesn't, depending on where the second Artboard is placed.

When customizing the Toolbar, too much space is wasted when placing individual icons on it. For example when placing the six button Alignment button group on the Toolbar it take 210 pixels. Those same six buttons placed individually on the Toolbar take 324 pixels. It should be possible to place buttons next to each other, without any spacing. When spaces are needed to separate groups, use the Space and or Flexible Space buttons. One use case would be having the same commands, but ordered differently. They should not take 50% more space, and be grouped together. (I like Left, Right, Top, Bottom, Center, Middle instead of the current Alignment button group.) It would also be extremely useful to allow any command to be added to the Toolbar.

Not really a bug, but I wonder if you could move the startup splash screen earlier in the launch process? When starting AD in the last several versions, it feels like nothing happens for too long before the splash screen appears, giving the impression that the app didn't launch.
