Hi rubs, testing your file on my Win 10 system (see specs below) I get the same results you got from Xara in moving the Porsche logo around. Zooming was just a hair slower, updating / focusing the screen in about 1/4 to 1/2 a second. View quality was set to Bilinear (Best Quality) and Rendering to Automatic (Best).

Thanks so much for looking into this Sean... 2 great products!

Just a follow-up... Both the Beta and Released version of AD still crash if it is one of the first things you do after AD starts up. The release version of AP also still crashes anytime. But the 1.5.1.47 beta AP seems to be fixed.

Thanks Mark.

Hi Patrick, thanks for responding. Yes it did crash in Designer 1.5.0. However it did not use the "Designer has stopped working" dialog box error. It crashed with the "Unhandled Exception error: 0xC0000005". Also in the last version (or the version before that) it only crashed as one of the first things you did when AD started up. Now it crashes all the time.

When click dragging the Eye Dropper on the Color Palette (not the tool bar) AD crashes with an "Designer has stopped working" dialog box error. This also happens on the just released AP (RC).

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.

I mentioned this in another request thread. Right click and release brings up the current context menu. Right click and drag duplicates the object. Simple, elegant no keyboard required.

Another request about Preferences. Would you please allow the window to be resized? Working with Keyboard Shortcuts allows the viewing / changing of 6 lines, I would like more. Thanks!

Another good example of a Preference Dialog (item #1 above) is Affinity Designers own Layer Effects dialog.

1. The Preferences Dialog is a bit awkward to use, requiring too many mouse clicks. A categories selection list on the left of a dialog box (like DrawPlus, Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint) would be a much better choice. Remembering the Preference page, and return to it the next time you use Preferences. 2. Make the Move Tool option: Hide Selection while Dragging a sticky Preference, that is remembered after exiting and restarting AD. 3. The View > Zoom to Fit leaves too much blank useless space around the document. I was told this was an ascetic decision by Mark Ingram. I'd like to request a preference option to reduce this space. For example, a document at my current screen size (32 inch monitor, 2560 x 1440 resolution) Zoom to Fit sets the zoom level to 49%. Manually adjusting makes it 54%. That's 2 inches horizontal and 1 1/2 inches vertical space wasted. It must be manually changed, since scroll wheel zooming, over or under shoots a good fit. This gets old fast. If it truly fit, I could get the same ascetic vib with a single mouse wheel backwards scroll zoom. Thanks for listening.

Hi Gary, nice to see you here! If you have a mouse with a middle button, it is set up to pan the document.
