Has the display of the clone tool recently been changed as whenever I use it now upon first selecting an area to clone a brush size is shown until the mouse is clicked to clone but then the brush size disappears to be replaced by an arrow cursor. If you select a new clone area the brush size will be displayed again but after clicking the brush size is again replaced by an arrow. I'm sure it used to display the brush size no matter how many times it was used. Am I right in thinking this is a bug? This is on Mac OS 13 Ventura, Mac Studio M1 Max 64gb ram, Affinity photo 1.10.5, Hardware acceleration Apple M1 Max (Metal) both on and off. It was the same on Big Sur before I updated too. clone tool.mp4

My tuppence... since updating to 1.7.0 from the Mac Appstore performance notably slower when refining a selection. When I say notably slower I mean about 3-4 times as long or longer. Just did a test and refined a selection on a 3500 x 5000 pixels jpg and it took 45 seconds... Very disappointed with it and wished I hadn't updated.
