Thanks Chris. You are welcome. I know there is a lot to do, but I'd much rather see an improvement in the existing tools/features than the implementation of new ones (that might still cause new bugs).

Thanks studio97!
I did that but the problem remained...what really resolve it for me was this:
I´m working with a xp pen artist tablet but the settings are the same. It resolved all of my brushes problems.

Hey Jacobyte,
It should be the correct brush when switching back but the app doesn't let you know which one is highlighted. The macOS version seems to remember this correctly so I've asked the Windows team to look into this area. Thanks.

Do something please, I keep saving the project but it's impossible to do this after each step...

hello 
 
same issu with me  since the last upgrade. 

Great Thanks!

Great Thanks!

While our loved Affinity Designer still has a long way ahead, and it has plenty of bugs and issue, I would like to thank those developers who are, I believe, working hard to make the best they can, during this hard time almost everywhere.
To all members here, Take care, stay safe.
Thank you

Thanks for the reports, I've fixed this now and it will be available in the next beta.

Tried the Beta a bit and it seems like the latest patch solved an issue with the alt+R click+L click shortcut while using a mouse. I seem to be able to use the shortcut now without Affinity freezing. Still doesn't work with tablets, but it's a start. Thanks! : )

They haven't updated the Beta yet that addresses any of the Windows Ink bugs or the freezes when using the mouse. A dev mentioned one bug possibly being fixed in the next Beta build, but we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully they fix these issues super soon, since it's hard enjoying 1.8 with them.

Thank you for continuing to investigate the issue. The brush resizing issue has definitely been plaguing my work on 1.8. I have lost count how any times Affinity has froze on me where I had to restart the program to regain control. At least I now know my freezing issue is not an isolated incident and others are able to see it at least. I'll have to try the beta version when I get time and see if there are any improvements.

well I have the same experience with the brushes, some one freeze everything,  other working normal. with mouse and pen.

today I was make some items to a picture, after export it the whole Photo freeze up. the only thing I could do was to use ctril-alt-f4 to restart Photo.
This was not happen to the beta or 1.7.3.

Update:
I was working in Photo on a Jpg, used the brush tool  and my whole system crashed, only a complet reset of the system was possible.   version 1.8.0
There is no crash report find.
