I completely agree with JGD's suggestions here. Separated Mode is extremely cumbersome as of version 1.8.3. As much as I hate to do so, I'll most likely be subscribing to Photoshop until Affinity Photo has a more efficient interface for working with multiple documents. This is sad considering how easy it would be to fix most of these issues.

I use the CubiCasa floor plan service, and wanted to edit an SVG file that they had provided. Unfortunately, that file, as well as others from them, does not render correctly in either Affinity Designer or Publisher. The cabinets and appliances are misaligned with the walls, and the direction arrows are missing on the stairs. The files render correctly in Chrome, Firefox, and Gapplin, an SVG converter. See screenshot: The corresponding SVG is attached. I ultimately converted the SVG to PDF in Gapplin and the PDF rendered correctly in Designer (except for a couple of large invisible rectangles that appeared to be out of place). I'm using Designer and Publisher version 1.8.3 on macOS 10.13.6. all-in-one_0.svg
