In the meantime, as a work around, you could use arrow brushes instead !
I've made a small set I regularly use (see attachment). Just double click on the file to import them. After import, double clicking on one of the brushes , opens a dialog window where you can change the size to you needs.

For people (like me) who wear glasses, this can indeed be a handicap. For example, I myself wear glasses with a built-in prism and +11 diopter, and am obliged to increase the scale and layout of my screen to 125% in order to work comfortably.
But if I record my videos with that setting (125%), a lot of shortcuts no longer function !!
So I first have to reset my screen settings to 100% scale, which is very annoying and tiring.

I did change the shorcuts (azerty keyb) as follow

The Windows uninstaller sees 2 installation because you installed 2 different apps (released and beta).
The fact that you choose to install the beta in the same directory as the released version simply means that you overwrote the existing files in that directory but by doing that you do not tell the uninstaller to first uninstall the release version so the uninstaller thinks it still exists even though it has been completely overwritten by the beta and is now virtually non-existent. 

Check the Feather setting is at 0 not 1024px

Fixed it>
go to Affinity Photo/Designer Preferences, Tools section and tick Enable Canvas Rotation with Trackpad if you have one available. This one rotates the view freely using a two finger rotation gesture.
 
why on earth this is disabled, I have no clue.
