So far 2.4 beta has resolved this problem pretty well! So glad to see this important bug fixed!

By bring up Ventura it makes me wonder if Somona would be any better in this area? I didn't want to upgrade at first but that version is nearly up to 14.2 now.

This problem seemed to be pretty resolved for me in 2.2 but came back for most of the apps in 2.3.

@Diego Lopez For me it seems to have gotten better with the 2.2.1 update. 2.2.0 was almost unusable.

This bug appears to have been fixed in Publisher. I tried to see if it was fixed in Designer but the window will not show up for me on the laptop. (I can see it in stage manager and expose only and probably on my large screen if I had access to it.) So right now I can't test that bug on Designer.

There are many drop down options for betas and by their names it could easily fall under several of those categories.

I've been away from my large screen for a week so I don't have my usual dual screen setup. As I tried opening the documents they don't come up in full screen. I can see a preview of them in Stage Manager and Expose. Their name is listed when I hold down on the Designer icon but when I select the file it never opens up to full screen. 2.1.1 works fine.

I'm on Intel and its been a while since I've had to reset NVRAM so I'll have to look that up. I'll try restarting it now.

This worked for me by making the toolbar clickable so I was able to drag it over to the studio display. Thankfully I didn't need the top part the window to show in order to drag it over like I do with many programs! That would have made things really difficult.

I don't know when this problem started. The studio display is new and I haven't used Designer much after I got it about two months ago. As soon as I drag the pointer off of the toolbar area it is no longer there. I found there are several tool this happens for not just the node tool. It also effects artboard tool, Contour, Corner, Pen, Pencil. None of them show up when I drag them into the workspace. Other tools work just fine though. The vector brush and vector fill tools show up just fine.

If I click on an object and select something with the invisible node pointer tool then the pointer shows up and I can select the objects. Of course it is very hard to select something when I can't see the pointer but it almost half works the right way. This is a very critical bug since I do most of my work on the large display.

This is what I see on my laptop. I have a dual monitor display and try to open design on my big screen but it keeps opening on the small laptop screen. It just start doing this with the last beta and the current 1971. Designer 2.1 doesn't do this or the other Affinity apps.

Nice, that worked really well. I didn't see the "missing fonts" section the first time I went through the dialog. I thought that the "all fonts" section would also contain the missing fonts too. That is a pretty nice feature especially for basic documents like mine that don't really require a lot of character style set up.

I was wondering how to do it in find and replace but couldn't find where to change the font. Is that an option?

I was trying to change it to Times New Roman in the Font Manager dialog but it doesn't seem like there is a way to do that? I didn't set up character styles since it is just the same badge style repeated over and over. I didn't see a need to change the font later down the road. Do I now need to select each font and switch them over?

Yes I have both Times and Times New Roman installed. Here is the screenshot of my Font Book with those two fonts. Both of the fonts run fine in Apple Pages.

Okay here is a file with some type from my document I have copied over. Different types of TImes Roman coming up wtih errors.afpub

I am not sure if this is a bug. I have Times New Roman on my machine, I see it in Font Book, I can choose the font in Publisher and other apps but Publisher keeps telling me that it is a missing font. I don't think that is the case. Otherwise wouldn't it also be mentioned when I am in other apps? Even when I am in Publisher it doesn't seem to have a problem exporting the file with that font on it.

@Hangman Looks like it worked, thanks!

After installing the latest betas of Designer and Publisher 2.2 1954 I can no longer used the delete button to get rid of an object. If I wanted to delete a layer in the latest beta of Photo it will work. Right now I am going to Edit > Delete.

I had keyboard navigation turned off too but I am not sure what it does (I didn't even know that setting was there.) I can still tab between fields.

@EmT I am using Monterey 12.6.6. It looks like @MikeTO is having the problem on Ventura too.

This seemed to work fine in a previous version but when I said 43-43 and pressed tab all the info in the field went blank. I tried the same file in the non-beta version, same problem. In case it had something to do with that page I tried 30-40 and again the same thing happened. It will let me export by spread which is the work around I will have to do this time. 2.1.1 1847

Yes, the third party brushes Freestyler and Letter +Grid Builder from Ian Bernard. I was using the two brushes one on top of the other so I don't know if it has anything to do with mixing those two together. Letter Builder is a brush that lets you add a basic outline to the letters you are drawing so it is far different from what you think of as a normal brush. The main brushes I use from Freestyler are 28 and 62. I had the time to give this a test on a different Mac running the latest version of Ventura and didn't come across any problems so far. This is the kind of project I can put off doing so I can give it another try when you issue the next RC.

This week I started using the Photo more and I noticed as I was using the Freestyler brushes that part of the stokes I lay down will disappear either slightly or completely. They will reappear again after a few seconds but it has this occasional glitchyness. During the 2.1 Beta/RC cycle I have mostly been using Designer using the built-in brushes. I started this document with Affinity Photo 2.0 or maybe even 1.x if I remember right and I don't remember it ever being a problem then. This is happening on Mac OS 12.6.5. If it happens again I suppose I could record and upload a screen capture. I might test it on Mac OS 13 which I have installed on another computer if I get a chance.
