Hi @Todor, We have several logged issues related to expanding strokes. I haven't found the correct one yet (I'll log a new one if necessary). As soon as I find it, I'll update/tag this thread so you can follow the issue. Affinity Bot will post a notice here when the issue is fixed.

Hi @NFlo, Welcome to Affinity Forums Have you checked if there's another dialog/notification open behind, hidden, waiting from some action from you?

@Dae, Where is the afdesign file located/stored while you work with it? On a local folder, external drive, cloud managed folder (iCloud, Dropbox etc)? How are you adding the images to the shapes? Through the Fill Tool selecting Bitmap from the dropdown, dragging the image over the Fill colour in the Colour panel? Thanks.

Hi @Dae, Welcome to Affinity Forums I'm logging the issue to be looked at. Thanks for reporting it.

It's only that one that doesn't let you input anything in the field? Can you set one for Show Column Guides for example? Does it still happen if you restart the app?

Hi @Todor, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue that's already logged with the dev team.

It's working fine for me in v2.5.5. Which letter (or combination of letters) are you trying to set as the shortcut?

@IsabelAracama, This command is only available in Affinity Photo. Are you using Designer?

Hi @BBG3, Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm logging it to be looked at. Meanwhile to work around the problem do the following: With the object selected, go to the Stroke panel and make sure Scale with object is ticked. Then in the Transform panel make sure the Width and Height fields are linked. In the Width or Height field (doesn't matter since they are linked) enter *200% to duplicate the size of the object, then go to menu Layer > Expand Stroke. Finally select both objects/layers generated by the Expand Stroke operation (the stroke and the filled part) go to the Transform panel again and multiply the Width or Height fields again entering *50% to reduce the two objects to their original size.

Hi @Austiemo, What iPad model do you have? Your file is opening fine on my iPad Pro (12.9-inch) 1st gen (2015) using both Serif and Apple (core Image RAW) engines. Have you tried to change the RAW Engine to Apple (Core Image RAW) in Affinity Photo Settings > General, Assistant Options (button on the right side), then RAW engine dropdown (left column, on bottom). Does it load the file correctly with that Engine for you?

Hi @Laganama, @PaulEC, @Deperditus Cliens, I’m really sorry for the delay in getting this fixed. Due to reasons beyond my control, I wasn’t able to fulfill what I promised in my previous post. This has nothing to do with the dev team. I’ve made one last attempt to pass the issue directly/privately to them, in the hope that it will finally be resolved. My apologies.

You're welcome.

Hi @Ldina, I've reproduced the issues you mentioned above (both the export issues and the truncated 'Y' on screen at certain zoom levels) and I am logging them to be reviewed. Thank you for your report.

Hi @genek, Welcome to Affinity Forums Thanks for your feedback. I've bumped the existing report again to bring it to the dev team's attention.

Seems you are using the Rectangle Tool with the Corner set to Rounded to create your boxes. Right before that control (to the left) you should see a checkbox labelled Absolute sizes. Tick it to force the Radius values to be displayed in Points.
