So I could finally post the hypothetical bug. I didn't listen to myself after so many test because I did try to post just the text without attaching any file before and it didn't work, so the problem had nothing to do with the file. First I must explain that every time I tried to submit the post after the first error, I didn't write the whole thing down every time, I pasted the text I was previously saved to a text file in my Windows desktop. It seems there is something wrong doing so. After different several tests I decided to clear the post and write the text from scratch again, directly in the editor. I uploaded just the first line, then I edited the post and completed the writing. Finally I could attach the file in a last step. That is quite strange I guess. If I edit the post and paste just a single line from the text file, I got the 403 error again. Anyway, if someone in the staff is reading this, they could test what I did, there might be a problem with the post editor or whatever. BTW this is the post:

I'm getting a lot of errors when using both Designer/Photo. The app stops refreshing the canvas with the latest actions. Usually zooming in or out will trigger the refresh action. These are the steps: Create an empty document Switch to Pixel Persona Activate Freehand selection tool and draw a selection Move the selection by clicking inside and dragging Add a selection area by clicking outside while pressing CTRL+ALT (or removing a section pressing just ALT). In my case this and later actions don't show up in the screen. Repeat step 4 or zoom in/out. Then all the actions after step 4 are drawn in the screen. This is happening almost 100% of the times. Having refreshing problems with other tools like Vector Brush, Warp tool etc. but these are more random. Freehand.mp4

Sorry for the supersized videos, I don't know how reduce their size. This is happening here almost always, but not only, after moving the current selection and then dragging a new one. Anyway, the initial topic is now irrelevant, as there is a shortcut/combo to add to selection. It's just that the system/app is not working right. But my idea of customizable default behaviours for any tool might be of interest, kind of the default objects introduced in v2.1.

As I'm going deeper on this, it's getting clear there is also a problem with Affinity refreshing the canvas. It's not that the selection is ignored, but the screen not being updated. I attach another video showing this. It looks like 2 different problems here. I have already got problems with Affinity not refreshing the screen unless I zoom in or out, and this is showing up also with the selection. Freehand 2023-06-03 140624.mp4

I tried all possible combos, including CTRL+ALT without any success. Now you mentioned that (I didn't look the bottom line in the UI before) I tried several times and it looks like it works sometimes , sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the cursor changes showing a + sign and works as expected, but sometimes + doesn't show up when using the same combo, and other times, + is showing but the selected area is ignored, as in the recorded video.

I find the add selection mode more useful than starting a new selection anytime you use the freehand selection tool, specially if there is no shortcut to change to add selection mode (that I could find). Providing a way to customize the default behaviour of any tool would be fantastic. What do you think?

Guides improvements
JavierBecana replied to Ash's topic in [ARCHIVE] 2.3, 2.2 & 2.1 Features and Improvements
I tried this in AD beta and it works great. Using CTRL on Windows to copy a guide is a great time saver. One thing that bothers me a bit is that I have to keep pressing CTRL while dragging. When you press CTRL and drag you have already decided you want a copy, so once you start draging I wouldn't need to keep pressing CTRL till the end. Just my thought. -
Snap when drawing guides
JavierBecana replied to JavierBecana's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Opps, I didn't realize I had snapping to grid turned off, my fault. Thank you. -
Hi everyone, excuse me if this has already come up. I'd like to make some features requests on this topic: When drawing guides, I'd like to snap in rounded numbers (5, 10,...) by using a key modifier like Shift, or snapping by default and then use Alt key to override this behaviour. They could snap to grid divisions as well. Guides and grid management could be grouped in one window, and this could be open by doble cliking the ruler I think these exist in PS long ago, if any of them are already present in Affinity please let me know. Thanks.
