All Affinity V2 Apps Affinity Designer 2 , Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2 Version 2.1.1.1847 Reproducable - any attempt to type text with a '+' or '_' (underscore) fails when using an external keyboard. Issue happens on any document new or existing. A document sample will not show the issue. Platform: iPad Pro 12.9 / iPadOS 16.6 Issue: Cannot type '+' or '_' in Artistic Text layer using any external keyboard. Observations: I was typing in some text and I realised I could not get a '+' sign. I tried all other standard visible character keys with and without Shift. All keys produced a character except '+' and '_'. I did some additional testing and discovered that the issue is with any external keyboard. I like to type and use shortcut keys with a real keyboard so I use a Logitech bluetooth. I tested an Anker bluetooth and a Logitech K120 USB wired keyboard using the Apple USB to Lightning adapter as well. None of the Affinity V2 apps will accept either the '+' key, or the '_' from any external keyboard for Artistic Text layers. Apps all support keyboard shortcuts. The on-screen keyboard does (of course) work for all characters. The '+' key does work using an external keyboard when the Layers panel is open (it changes blend mode).
