@Willbilly After selecting the colour, tap the canvas and then switch to another tool, such as View. If this is still failing for you, please do a screen recording to upload so we can confirm your workflow.

Hi, I'm writing to find some help with my ipad.
I'm trying to learn how to use Photo, but it crashes randomly, sometimes after 1 minute during developing a RAW photo, sometimes much later, when using a brush or resizing the image. I tried to reduce the "undo limit" and move the save location to the internal memory, even tried to reinstall the app, but nothing had worked.
The app is version 1.7.3.155 and "run" on an ipad mini 5 cellular with 256gb of storage and ios 13.3 (17C54).
The RAW files are from a canon 5d mark iii.
Thanks to everybody can hep me!

Having this issue as well. Basically unusable.
 

Maybe, but this is obviously a major issue for many people, me included.
Rather than Serif keep avoiding the issue, would it be so hard to put a 'move lock' in the software?
Maybe an on-screen modifier of some sort 'Force Move'.
It really does detract from what is otherwise a very nice piece of software.
Don't be like Microsoft, please.
1 Deny the issue
2 Blame the user
3 Ask the user to re-install the software.
4 What issue, tell me again.
5. Repeat the above from step 1
 

Use the official Serif technique 
a/ select the shape
b/ resize the shape
c/ press undo
d/ zoom in
e/ stretch the shape
f/ undo
g/ zoom in some more
h/ eureka, it moves
i/ now what? The shape has filled the whole screen so I can’t see where to move it to. Bummer 
What I do is add a larger rectangle or similar shape, select both the rectangle and the smaller object and use the rectangle as a handle.
If I was rating this app I would only give it one star due to this ridiculous design flaw and the dark grey on black interface. Which is a shame because the desktop app is definitely a four or five star app. 
Every time I need to select a Studio I have to press the question mark. I even printed a couple of labels to stick on the edge of the iPad to help me ‘see’ the icons. I did get laughed at a couple of times, which was embarrassing 

I'm having this same problem. It seems to me that AD doesn't recognize the "touch" precision of using the pencil for these interactions. So if I zoom in far enough that the entirety of the touch radius of a finger resides fully inside the shape, then I can move it with the pencil. But if I'm not zoomed in that far, then the pencil's "touch" is still the same size as a finger, so it tends to select the transform handles of the shape. This is really disappointing and makes using the pencil on the iPad Pro really less useful than it should be. I feel like AD should be able to recognize the point of the Apple Pencil with much more precision than a finger touch.

+1. This is my number one issue with Designer.
