When the Text Ruler is displayed, the cursor won't turn from an I-beam cursor to an Arrow cursor.. it doesn't detect the to-middle text box resize handle

I opened 12 documents, numbered xxx_1 - xxx_12. They opened in a slightly arbitrary order (not 1-12) so I re-ordered the tabs. If I open any additional files after reordering, all the tabs revert to the original order they were in when they were first all opened as a group.

Why do I ALWAYS forget this!!! After years of working in Illustrator and now Designer....

I use all three OS's at different times but my overriding preference is Mac OS. I set up a laptop with Linux Mint 20 and it's such a nice experience that I find myself spending more and more time using it (I'm a web / app developer primarily). I've tried to get Photo / Designer running in Linux but other than using a virtualized OS it hasn't happened. Having Affinity's products running on Linux would SERIOUSLY mess with my head: I'd probably find myself using Linux more than Mac OS and I've never been in that situation before! But I'd love to find out how things pan out in that case.

I have a habit of double-clicking a word (to select it all) but holding the mouse button down and dragging over subsequent words to select a few of them (let's say I want to italicize). Double-clicking the word then dragging ensures I don't miss a letter or only get part of the word in a selection. BUG: If I double-click then drag to the right, then down to the next line, everything is fine. BUT If I double-click then drag to the left, then down to the next line, the first word becomes un-highlighted. I've attached a short video to show what happens. The word to watch is 'mark' which is what I start each selection with double-click-bug.mov

Congratulations! And well deserved. Keep up the great work.. of keeping me off of any Adobe products :p

I've had to switch the UI to light just so I can see the thumbnail detail in the Layer palette. I had a number of Curve layers that contained black stroke'd lines and they are almost impossible to see with a dark UI (my preference). Please see attached screenshots. I tried adjusting the UI gamma in preferences but it made no discernible difference.

This is something InDesign has and I make use of. It would be very useful to have it in Publisher too.

While fiddling with a book page layout, I'm adjusting the margins and printing sample pages to help decide what settings I'd like to use. Is there a way ( if not, a handy little button on the Text Frame panel would be fab! ) to make all of the text frames in the document resize to fit the newly altered page margins. This could be limited to the Page Master in use.

I'd also like to know if it's possible to restore an image's ratio. I updated the source of a linked image and it updated in my picture frame at an incorrect ratio, even though the previous image was the correct ratio.

Problem seems to have gone away with the latest beta, .170. Maybe the new square icon fixed it

Latest Beta (1.7.162) on Mac High Sierra (MacBookPro 2018). See attached video. The text box jumps when dragged and even when I stop moving the cursor, it appears to continue to move by itself. It happened to other boxes too, including resizing the edge of a picture of a box Screeny Video Nov 20, 2018 at 15.19.25.mov

You're a star Dominik. I'd done all that except change the anchor point! Thank you very much

Does this feature already exist (and I can't find it)? Is it possible to resize a picture's frame without the picture itself (like in InDesign where you can manipulate the picture frame or separately move and size the picture within the frame)
