[Losing cursor visibility in Publisher 2.2]

I can reproduce this bug when I edit a gradient.
After changing the gradient, the handlers for selected objects disappear.

After double clicking on the master pages and back again, the display is back to normal.

So my confidence in the Affinity V2 products is fading more and more. 😒
Even after X updates there are still such serious bugs.
You can't work productively like that!

Now I just continue to work in the V1 apps, which do work very well...

(Publisher V 2.2.1 - macOS Big Sur 11.7.10)

[Still no Tools Preferences - Affinity Photo V2]

Also in Photo V2 still no tools basic settings possible like e.g. with the Healing Brush source always aligned.
Just sad how feature requests are ignored for years. 👎

[When are sticky settings for the tools finally coming??? (feature request since 2015)]

Dear developers,

It's unbelievable: since 2015, hundreds of users have asked here in the forum for "sticky settings" for the tools, but it is simply ignored by the Serif developers.
Sorry, but it's just annoying to have to reconfigure the tools again and again after opening each file!!!
...and with the selection brush it's even worse: here you even have to select the mode separately each time.

It can't be that difficult to integrate these functions into the app. Every other image editing app offers this by default.

Please, oh please 🙏 finally provide sticky settings with the next update!

 

[[Multi] Sticky Settings]

Unbelievable: even after 6 years, Serif has still not managed to save at least the tool settings for each user individually!

This is just a joke for all loyal users! And the Affinity Apps are still promoted as a serious alternative to Adobe. Simply embarrassing and extremely disappointing!

You really can't work efficiently with Affinity apps any more.

[Default open small images in 100% view]

Affinity Photo should open small image files in 100% view.

(for example, to work with small thumbnail images)

Please add this feature to the preference pane.

[Always open images in 100% view]

However, it takes much less than a second to use the keyboard shortcuts for 100%, Zoom to Fit, Actual Size, Pixel Size, etc., so it should be no big deal to choose whichever one you want immediately after opening the file.

 

If you have to work with hundreds of small Thumbnail image files every day, it can be very annoying to change zoomlevel with command+1 each time!

 

It should not be very difficult to integrate a default-view setting into preferences.

It is now standard in image processing apps that large images are fitted and smaller images are opened to 100%.

[Always open images in 100% view]

Affinity Photo should always open image files in the 100% view.
What must be set in the Preferences?

 

I need this because I work a lot with small image files.
