I can't minimise the screen when it happens, which is annoying.

It's so obvious that I can't believe I missed that. I don't know where the white fill came from. Thanks, both of you.

Thanks for the reply. I've attached the .afphoto file. The answer to your second question is that the rectangles and text were showing before saving but didn't reappear when reloaded. Cookie's room.afphoto

I've not had this issue before. I try to create a rectangle with stroke and fill set in contrasting colours. Nothing appears. Am I overlooking something obvious? (This also applies to text after I've saved the file.)

I let the app detect and install it. There was no description of which privilege it needed.

I got this message updating to 2.0.4 on both Paint and Publisher, but not on Designer. Are those installations still sound? Windows version.

I moved the apps to a preferred drive and created shortcuts. They all looked the same, so I replaced the icons with those from V1 and now it all looks like it should have done from the start. I repeat my comment that the decision to use MSIX and provide no alternative was a bad one and should be reconsidered.

I tried the drag-and-drop idea but it didn't work.

I should imagine that MSIX could cause problems in a corporate environment. The more I think about it, the more I think MSIX as the only option was a big mistake.

Could Affinity offer an alternative to MSIX? (BTW, I had to download the MSIX reader from Microsoft Store before I could do anything.)

The installation of all three products went automatically to my C: drive, despite it being close to full. I would have preferred the option to choose a different drive.

Thanks! That did the trick.

Yes, I use a three-monitor setup, though I don't remember moving the Symbols panel to a different screen, although I may have. Anyway, that thought occurred to me and I tried opening Designer on each one to see if the panel would appear on one of the other two, but that yielded no result. I'm using Windows 10 Pro.

I selected Symbols from Studio but the panel is not showing, although it is checked. I've used Symbols in the past, so I don't know why it's not appeared this time. I'm using V1.10.1142 of Designer.

Opened a new document and tried again. It worked fine and didn't need to consider Fill Mode.
