You can only have artboards or a canvas, not both at the same time, so when you have artboards the ‘Clip to Canvas’ option isn’t really disabled as such: it’s simply irrelevant.
You’re ‘bound by beans’, so isn’t that disruptive, too? 

I don't do this kind of work much, but I find working with a curve directly in Photo at the desired size lets me see the actual pixels/hinting in real time. I can see where trouble spots are and move/nudge nodes to minimize problems.

Maybe it's just me, but the jump in sizes between "small" and "medium" is too much.
I'd love a size between those that also keeps the page label to the right instead of underneath

But what if the user really does want to cancel the whole export process? I have to click Cancel twice?

Wouldn't "States" help with this?
You could give all comment layers a specific tag color or prefix and then turn them off/on with a simple State query

But how do we know if what YOU want as default is the same as what OTHERS want as default? Or which state is "used most often"?
I suppose it could make sense to have this setting be "sticky" or controlled by a preference somewhere.

I don't have Text Decoration in my Paragraph panel in Designer or Photo (2.5.7)

Affinity Designer on macOS:
M key. Click and drag a box. Cmd+return. Ctrl+click on bottom line.
 

Even better is Ctrl Click with Node tool.

I ran into this one the other day myself.
I had created a nice group of things, named it something informative, and created a symbol. Later, I made a second symbol and decided on a better, more informative name for the first symbol. Changing the name in the Symbol Panel did not update the names of the symbol instances in the layers panel. Had to update each by hand.
Perhaps not a bug, but would make a nice feature update.

+1
and bonus +1 for @.: NICKY G. :.'s idea for multiple divisions. Have always been frustrated when needing to divide a segment into thirds.

That is very much untrue. Affinity supports both OpenType and TrueType fonts. Perhaps you are having other issues with loading fonts?

Thanks for the examples.

I agree that Constraints would be a handy place for some of this.
Though, just being able to round the corners of a Text Frame (and having Text Frames in Designer) would solve one the OPs first examples.

For a sawtooth, one could use a symbol…

A quick idea from me

Without seeing the full workspace, I'm just guessing, but I think you've used the Text Frame tool. A text frame can be resized using the "detached" bottom right handle. Or you could set your text using Artistic Text tool instead, which I find more versitile for short, headline type text pieces.

Happy to help.
I'm lucky enough to qualify for PACKZVIEW which is adequate for my pre-press needs. I have an old laptop with Acrobat X for the rare use case, but actually haven't needed it for many moons.

The History would show if the object got moved.
But we can also see the coordinates of the object in the Transform panel when it is selected. As near as I can tell, the are the same at the beginning of the video and the end. No movement.

Testing on Mac…
After Text Frame exists and has text, when clicking the VFF tool, the Text Frame is deselected.
As I hover the VFF tool over the text frame, the text and counter spaces inside letter forms are highlighted indicating they can be filled, but the frame itself is not highlighted.
But, I can click where I know the frame exists and it will fill!
Now the frame gets highlighted on hovering with VFF as expected(?) and I can choose other colors and click again to fill per normal operation of the VFF tool.
A brilliant work around. Let's hope it doesn't get "fixed"

Hi All.
My apologies for the delayed response to this thread this has now been logged with our developers to be fixed in a future update. I'll update this thread once I have more info.
Thanks

Ah yes, I see you are using vector, but then at some point converting to pixels. Whatever works for you of course.
 
What benefit does this technique provide?
