Still broken in the just released 1.8.3. 😕 Isn't this a major bug that should be absolute top priority? I mean, this is a photo editing program and brushes are used probably 90% of the time. The suggestion above about releasing left click first doesn't work. This bug was introduced when brush Rotation-Width-Shape mode cycling was implemented with ALT+RMB+LMB. So I think the bug stems from there. Is there a way to disable this mode cycling? Maybe this will fix it. I would rather trade this functionality that I never use for properly working brush resizing without teleporting my cursor all over the screen.

Currently, applying a macro changes the current tool to View Tool [H]. Is there a particular reason for this? I think it would be better if the tool I was using didn't change after I apply a macro. I think it's unnecessary and confusing.

Thanks, a lot, @walt.farrell , I'll give it a try! Do you think this can break anything if I restore the original value before updating/uninstalling etc.?

Thanks, but I'm not finding this checkbox. Please see attached a screenshot.

I'm now running the older 1.7.3 version of Photo due a bug in 1.8.2 (cursor teleports while resizing brushes). The problem is that every time I launch the program, I'm greeted with a window that says that there's an update available which gets a little irritating after the 20th time. Is there a way to disable/remove this message? At a quick glance in settings I couldn't see an option that disables it. Maybe I missed it or I disable it another way? Thanks in advance!

First, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to report a bug that exists both in the release and the Beta, so feel free to delete the thread if necessary. So to summarize, it's exactly the same bug as the one in the latest official release that I reported a month ago.

I just saw that the new Beta is out and it seems that the bug is fixed there, thanks!!

Thanks! Any ETA on the release of this customer beta? I hope it doesn't take more than a few days, because this bug is really messing up my work (can't use effects and groups together). 😕

To clarify, this problem did not appear in 1.8 in which this document was created with. Everything was working perfectly fine and without workarounds until I installed 1.8.2. Once I opened it with 1.8.2, the document stopped work properly.

Thanks, but this didn't work for me.

As the title says. I don't have any masks in the BG group or in the layers inside it, yet the background is not showing. This didn't happen with 1.8 which this document was made with. Please see attached a screen shot as well as the document (in low-res). background_not_showing_bug.afphoto

Applying any macro changes the current tool to View Tool (H). Is this a bug and should I report it in the bugs forum section? I don't remember this happening in version 1.7.3.

For software to be usable and enjoyable, it must be intuitive. Therefore, it would be immensely useful for us to be able to zoom with CTRL+SPACE, instead of SPACE+CTRL. Our ingrained experience with PCs and our reflexes almost always leads us to press the CTRL button before any other button so pressing SPACE first is counter intuitive. I always copy a layer by mistake because I didn't follow the correct order which for some reason in Affinity Photo is SPACE first, CTRL second. There's no such problem in Photoshop. Making the user stop and think about the order of operations for such a simple task as zooming is poor user experience (UX) design IMHO. I hope this can be looked into and considered for the upcoming update.

That's nice to know, but this means I have to always intentionally focus on my order of actions/clicks which I don't have the time and nerves to do. Everything was working beautifully up until version 1.8.
