Just seen you were referring to the update and yes thank you its does seen to be fixed now right side are welded with no problems (E) was the worst absolutely great thanks can start using it for my workflow again
Hated not using Affinity for work as i like almost everything about it but that bug was a killer for me thanks again for fixing it. 

Same this still doesn't work 80% of the time.
Have now had to move on to other software just to do work.

No to worry these things happen will just run 1.7 till there is a fix out thanks for getting back to us

I'm really sorry about this - it seems we had a bug lurking with very simple shapes (those which contained line segments and horizontal/vertical edges). I have now fixed this issue and we'll get Beta builds out asap to address this problem for everyone. Please accept my sincere apologies for this

I'm getting this happen when i try as well.

Hi blackdragonvinyl,
We are already aware of the weird effect on text objects (particularly with letter "A"). This one is also logged. Thank you for your feedback.

I tried division in version 1.8 too and failed.  (division and not XOR !!!! )
It is a total wreckage, I can't even tell what the hell is going on, it is some kind of magic pill effect.
I have illustrator too, so I don't care if you don't want to understand the issue guys, or just playing stupid.
 

The DIVIDE operation sometimes faults big time in Designer version 1.7 and is unacceptable in those cases. Especially when it created hundreds of nodes and shape fragments.
The timing is in your favor though - the also faulty expand stroke operation is finally fixed in the latest beta of 1.8 and if we are lucky the divide operation is also fixed when 1.8 is released.
Affinity Designer disqualified itself from anything else than hobby work in my life (due to lack of features and bugs as these ones), so I use it for vector art with pixel textures (the only thing Designer really excels at) for hobby projects. I didn't use the Boolean operators much for that reason, but I don't recall having issues with ADD. Just divide. Whenever your work depends on vector objects and vector manipulation - use something else. Inkscape, Xara, Corel, Illustrator fx.
Check out https://affinityspotlight.com/ ... the majority of articles are about Photo and Publisher and the few articles about Designers are generally about the same type of digital art made with the same few tools. It speaks for itself. Designer has the lowest business priority in the Affinity lineup.

the upper video is a simple addition, it doesn't work at all.  it doesn't add the triangle to the rectangle.
the lower video is a division. I expect to cut the inner forms too, not just the intersecting element, because in a lot of cases (eg. grids and patterns) I need the inner element divided too.
