Hi folks, I feel there is a big regression on selection precision and a very effective productivity killer. The following is similar to this topic but applies more globally on my video. This first video shows the selection process using Affinity Designer V1: If I need the selection items inside a group or a shape, I'm pressing cmd. Please note that selecting the white rectangle works flawlessly whenever the pointer does not hover a text. This is all perfectly working. Affinity - V1 Selection Behavior.mov This second video shows the selection process using Affinity Designer V2: Here I'm trying to select the white rectangle. Even if my pointer clearly not overlap texts, those will select, making impossible to reach the white rectangle. It's like there is a huge invisible contour/offset around texts. Also, the tendency of the move tool to switch to text tool is super annoying. Affinity - V2 Selection Behavior.mov Hope this helps. Regards.

I'm confused. For sure I didn't see that problem in Affinity 1, because I just switched to 2 after using 1 for years. There is something wrong about selecting object inside of other objects. And I don't see patter here. I just sometimes can't select objects inside of other object if it doesn't have color inside. Strange. MOVE TOOL : SELECT TOOL.mov MOVE TOOL.afdesign
