Thanks, but I have given up the last 2 editions. There were also many issues with the previous edition. I have installed 1.9.2 and it works. It does not go down. I have tried the new Affinity on my husband's PC and it works. Affinity designer works as it should.

a1,a2,a3(R) r,g,b horizontal shift creates divisions of document width (w)
b1,b2,b3(R) r,g,b vertical shift creates divisions of document height (h)
c1,c2,c3(0,1) r,g,b hard edge shift creates gradation
- notes on controllers
(R) Real numbers whole and decimal. Both positive and negative numbers work. The preset formula was originally set up for (Z)*.
*While searching for hot keys to control the numbers while scrolling over them I found two. 1) while hovering over (R) number box with mouse, scroll mouse wheel to change the numbers. 2) holding down shift key will shift the whole numbers by increments of 10. 3) holding down control key will shift the decimal by .1. This is incredibly helpful for fractional increments. (I can verify this only for Windows).
(0,1) All number between and including 0 to 1. Represented as a slider.
- notes on formula
This function is a variation of osc and has 3 factors/parameters ( rx, ry, c1 ) separated by commas.
rx (relative x) multiplied by a1 (number of horizontal divisions) divided by w (document width)
ry (relative y) multiplied by b1 (number of vertical divisions) divided by h (document height) (many times, this will also be divided by document width (w))
c1 this is the smooth portion of the osc formula that creates the gradient (Note that gradient spread shifts equally (+, -) from division edge.)
