[Renaming Layer unfocuses without reason]

You'll be either happy to know (you aren't crazy!) or saddened to know (Affinity has known about this for years and done nothing) that this bug has existed since even before I made a thread about it back in 2017. It *seems* like a small bug, but after a late night of designing it ends up frustrating me so much that I have vowed to not use this program any more for large scale design tasks, period. The inability to simply make a new layer, and double click it to rename it such a basic and essential failure that over the course of creating 200+, 300+ layers I just can't take it.

 

What's interesting is seeing the reply in this thread from staff that not only acknowledges that it's an old problem, but also acknowledges that they know exactly what causes it and the solution from their end is "try clicking slower?". I can't, for the life of me, begin to comprehend what kind of deep-rooted bug exists in their software that simply clicking too fast warps the UX the way it does. But, oh well.
