Unfortunately I’m also still having this glitch on the last version.

Interesting thinking, but unfortunately the left single typographic quote is obtained with the shortcut : shift + alt + 8

Thanks for your reply, I've managed to find the keyboard shortcuts for my specific layout (macOS Spanish ISO) to force Affinity to output a typographic quote. For those who are interested it's : shift + alt + 9 (yes that doesn't make any sense for me either)

Thanks for your reply. I wish this autocorrect setting was available in all other Affinity apps… for now this behavior is simply annoying in Pesigner / Photo

Just checking if the straightening tool still use a click and release input mode/gesture: yep. New check in 1 year

Hi, I've come across an interesting behaviour from my daily apps that I didn't knew where implemented since they where totally transparent until I've got this problem with Affinity designer. I was trying to use a font that didn't had a proper apostrophe glyph (Glyphe G+000a U+0027 Apostrophe) and here is the result in Affinity Designer: I was surprised since I've already used this font on other project but with different app. A quick cross comparaison with Sketch and Pages confirm me that this font should works normally After digging I've found that apps like Sketch or Pages weren't actually using the apostrophe symbole (since the font didn't had one) but they somehow detect it and replace it with a "Glyphe G+00aa U+2019 Right Single Quotation Mark" on the fly and I've never noticed it. Is this a setting to enable somewhere in Affinity's programs?

I'm just fighting against the contour tool since yesterday and the only temporary fix is to import my path in a new file, but it will eventually start to glitch again... affinitylol.mov

Thanks you for your workaround. I’m actually using this exact method already. i was just tired with all those extra steps and decided to finally write a feedback request to hopefully have a small option to disable the “auto apply” nature of this tool and make it similar to the straightening tool from Photoshop.

Hi, just to be clear: I’m not having trouble with “zooming in and using the tool on a small section of my image” Im having trouble while I need to place the second point of the leveling line when the targeted pixel isn’t in the viewport. the straightening tool is validating your input when you releasing the mouse click which this doesn’t make any sens for me. It’s like having the cropping tool cropping your selection when you release the mouse button. It’s OK for a global crop but for extra precision you need to zoom in, eventually move a bit the cropping area and THEN apply the cropping effect. I don’t really see the point having this particular behavior for the straightening tool just to save a click if I loose the ability to get extra precision when I really need it. maybe some dev can correct me if I’m wrong but the software doesn’t put any extra computing / IA stuff while straightening the image. It’s just depends on your leveling line and rotate the image accordingly. so if your 2 points aren’t pixel perfectly placed where they need to be you won’t get a perfectly straightened image. I can imagine this isn’t something really critical for photo editing, but for my use case this is really important. Maybe Affinity Software isn’t the right tool for me then.

Sorry I just thought that I was reading the typical : “you are using it wrong / just buy a new one” vibe that all Apple users are used to when something doesn’t work as expected. sorry but I won’t read all user old posts when I’m making a feedback I hope you will understand. I just made a quick search to see if my problem was already reported. You are right ; I did. The Magic Mouse suck and this is a fact (at least the version with AA batteries is less a pain that this new magic version that need to be charging upside down) I only use it on my iMac because it was shipped with it. but I’m mostly using my MacBook and the trackpad is really a better input device for all my workflow with all the gestures it’s supporting. (Except for Affinity photo) Yes it’s pretty much a common thing with Apple hardware. But I’m used to it and I’m working with a lot of Apple only software so I can’t switch OS easily. Well I hope not, since this software is supposed to be a “better Photoshop for Mac” and don’t implement they features thinking that Apple user will use they software using Apple hardware and Apple accessories... talking about photoshop, if I remember correctly the straightening tool is perfectly usable using low level zoom. To be honest I didn’t even try with my Magic Mouse. Since I’m mostly a trackpad user I just pictured in my mind trying to hold the click while making the pinch to zoom out / pan / zoom in gestures. Yes this is finger gymnastics and if Serif thought that it was an “Ok user experience” Well I think I’ll have to live with it. But I’m really interested if other user was actually facing the same issue, and how often they use this tool. Maybe I’m just crazy, but since I’m straightening a lot of technical hand drawing, I need the horizontal lines to be perfectly horizontal. I just can’t eyes ball it with a global zoom.

Yes I know the Apple Magic Mouse suck. Can we move on? I don’t want to use another mouse, and I’m more often using the trackpad anyway so this workaround is really a nogo for me. thanks you very much for your help but if we need to make such finger gymnastics to use the this tool this just demonstrates the poor ergonomics implementation.

Magic Mouse / trackpad user here. no such sorcery things as a wheel-zoom

Hi, I'm using A LOT the straighten tool and I found the way it was implemented in Affinity Photo just confusing / not practical. Actually the way this tool works is that I need to hold click and then drag to make my leveled line and then when I release click, the straightening is applied. This might seems to be a good approach when we need to straighten an image with a low zoom level, but the problem is when we need to zoom in to get extra precision. I didn't find a way the change the behavior of the too such has when I make my leveling line and then release the mouse click, I can still move the 2 points of my leveling line so I can put the points with pixel precision. Maybe there is an option somewhere that I completely missed to make this works like this... thanks for taking the time to read this post

All right, thanks you for the answer. Is it going to be added in future release ? It's one of the Illustrator's thing that I use a lot :)

Hello ! I know this have already been asked, but I'm waiting this since 2014 and I don't know if this feature has been added. Is there any way to snap handle control point to the grid / pixel grid / guide ? Thanks SnappingDance.mov
