I brought this up way back in 2017 already but the bug is still occurring, so I wanted to bring it back to the attention and add a screen recording for better illustration. Affinity Designer (Mac version) has a problem with adapting the panel/toolbar position to the current main display (non-Apple). If I unplug my large monitor with 1920×1080 resolution, AD goes to my laptop at 1280×800px but the context toolbar at the top doesn’t come with it, or rather, it’s way outside the viewport. You can see this in the attached screen recording where I do the three-finger swipe-down on the trackpad. Sometimes something similar happens to Studio panels. This can sometimes be avoided if I detach the panels/toolbars from the edges of the large display (and optionally move them somewhere in the middle/left of the viewport) before unplugging the monitor. Ideally Affinity should register that panels/toolbars are attached to the edge of a display and re-attach them on the other display in a relative position to its size. I hope that makes sense. swipe.mov
