It is up to you whether you investigate the matter. I was just reporting it. I withdraw my question how to prevent the letting-go. I should not have asked. Sorry.

I drag nodes by putting the mouse arrow over the node (at the corner of a rectangle, for example), holding the left button down and moving the mouse. I expect the node to move with the mouse cursor until I release the left button. But the node stops moving before I release the button. I expect I could spend the day investigating this but time flies. Are there settings that would improve performance of drag-and-drop procedures like this? Is the problem unique to me, or have others had similar experiences? All I can do at the moment is report that the problem occurs. If it is unique to me, I would rather this matter were closed as I do not have time to pursue it.

Possibly, but I am not convinced that it is necessary. It will only show what I have described.

When I try to drag nodes of a rectangle the mouse keeps letting go. How can I prevent this? This is version 1.10.6.1665 on Windows 10. Dragging generally works OK so it is not my hardware.

Many thanks. It was off the display as you suggest.

Many thanks. I cannot find "Protect Alpha" anywhere, whatever that means, but when I pressed Ctrl+D the pixel tool began to work. My next question is how to select a purely white colour. Is there a manual that caters for really basic stuff like this?

Thanks. However, I cannot make the pixel tool draw or select pixels. I cannot make it do anything. Same with paint brush. I see tutorials but they do not show which keys or buttons the person is pressing.

I have a small PNG file. I am trying to find a way to change the colour of individual pixels or selections of pixels. Can Affinity Designer do this? I have found a "pixel tool" but it does not seem to do anything. I can move a marquee from pixel to pixel but that is all.

Thanks - I seem to have got it to work, with line mode on pen tool, holding <shift> down to constrain the line to be horizontal or 45-degree angles from this. I think choosing line mode is what I was not doing previously.

Thanks for your very prompt reply, but pressing the escape key causes the first line to disappear. The pencil tool gives a freehand line but I am trying to draw a straight level line. Having essential tremor I cannot do this freehand.

If I draw a line with the pen tool,and then start to draw another line, a curved line appears joining the end of the first line and the beginning of the second line. How do I prevent this?

I have restarted the computer and tried again. I have also clicked on an "unblock" button I found in the Properties dialog. I have tried running the .exe file again. Something begins to happen because I see changes to which Windows Explorer window is selected, but that is all. I am running 32-bit Windows Home Premium SP1, not 64-bit.

I have bought Affinity Designer and downloaded the .exe file. I have the product key. When I double-click on the .exe file, I see "Open file - Security Warning", "Do you want to run this file?" with a box to click on, "Run". So far, so good. I click on "Run" and the Windows blue whirlygig appears for a moment, and that's all. Why won't anything else happen? I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

I don't know if there is still a forum for WebPlus x^ users so I apologise if this is in the wrong place. I have a website prepared with WebPlus X6 which has a navigation bar. I would like to change the text (legends) on some of its buttons but I cannot find out how. I would be grateful for advice.
