This is a problem already reported on the windows side, but I have confirmed it is also an issue on Mac in v2.2 in Designer. The linked post also claims this is an issue in Photo also. Here is my post on the Windows forum: I can confirm this is an issues on Designer v2.2.0 on Windows. I don't recall this being an issues on previous versions going back to v1.8.5. I can recreate this issue consistently on my computer with the same behavior...dragging a swatch onto the node on the gradient as pictured by the OP. Freezes Designer then crashes. I am able to work around it by selecting the node first then just clicking the desired color in the palette, but that is not as intuitive. My co-worker is able to reproduce this as well on his Windows machine as well. I just tested on my Intel 2018 Macbook Pro running Big Sur 11.4 and I can confirm it is an issues on Mac as well. I had no issues on the previous version 2.1.x, then I ran the updater and tried again and it crashed. I haven't had a chance to verify this on my Apple Silicon Mac yet.

The shortcut Ctrl+Alt+LMK to change the brush size no longer works in 2.1.0.1736. Changing the hardness works as usual.

Hey community! The title actually says it all. I've been using this incredibly useful little feature ever since I learned it decades ago (when I was working with Adobe applications), and was very happy to find it right from Affinity’s first ever release (?) in the shortcuts menu: »Set Fill to Black and White«. It's particularly useful in Designer when you need to quickly reset the base colours of your shapes, but also in Photo, especially as all the apps in the suite work so seamlessly together. However, using this shortcut in Photo with an active Fill Layer in the layers panel completely breaks it, like … irreversibly. Not even the »Revert defaults« button (if added in the toolbar) can revive its initial state! ☹️ Steps to Reproduce: Set up a shortcut under Shortcuts → Miscellaneous → Set Fill to Black and White. Note: There's no menu item for this option at all, it's only accessible via a keyboard shortcut, factory default is D. Create a Fill Layer. Select Fill Layer (if not already active) in the layers panel. Use the designated shortcut previously assigned to Set Fill to Black and White. Expected Behavior: I’m actually not sure what I expected. 😅 Probably a reset to white? But I'm not sure about the stroke, since a fill layer is practically borderless. And I suppose that might be the reason why it breaks. Current Behavior: The Fill layer turns transparent and stops responding to any changes of color or other fill. As mentioned, Set Fill to Black and White completely breaks the layer irreversible. You have to delete the layer and create a new one. I'm having the same problem on MacOS and Windows, but as I'm sitting in front of a Mac at the moment (and since the forum is lacking a thread for bugs that affect the application regardless of OS), I'm going to post it here. Can someone verify this? Cheers Dennis aka The Guy With All the Fill Layer Issues 🥲

Hi, just found this. The dialog does not show the lock icon to clamp | unclamp proportional resize on export. This has been present in v1 and is also in customer v2.0.4

In Publisher, once I choose a style for selected text, it won't undo by keyboard shortcut. (Windows 11 / 2.1.0.1714) It will undo by menu Edit > Undo, but CTRL-Z does nothing. CTRL-Z does work if you click back on the document, but it takes twice since the first undo is re-selecting the text. Same with either paragraph or character styles, and the same if you've applied a keyboard shortcut for the style and applied it that way. Works as expected in 2/non-beta.
