It happens on affinity photo and designer It doesn’t do it all the time or with all brushes. IMG_1840.MOV

Hello, I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced what I'm seeing and what can possibly go wrong (and maybe it's a bug)? I have a lot of pixel layers and I draw a lot of lines on them using different brushes. Often I don't like the latest line that I have just drawn, so I use my two figers to go one step back in history, and most of the times that works as it should, however like three times already this gesture (double tap) has resulted in something totally unexpected. Imagine a pixel layer with a lot of previously drawn lines, I draw a new one, double tap, and then all of a sudden BAM like most of the OTHER lines disappear, leaving only a very small part of the pixel layer in place, and the removed parts have a square border... As if somebody used a rectangle selection tool and deleted most of the pixel layer. This sudden change is not revertable, if I use three taps again to go back to the last change, the layer doesn't restore itself to its previous state. Most of it is still deleted. If I instead go back in history even more, that doesn't make a diffence either. It's like this layer is corrupted and most of it is just gone. I haven't been able to record this yet because it happens suddenly and when it does, the layer is already gone so I can't show the way it was before. What's this and how can this be prevented???

I’m doing comic colouring and the new version seems to butcher layers that I’m working on. When I select a certain area to paint or erase on, at a certain point, Affinity randomly deletes big chunks (rectangles in various sizes) on that layer. When I try to undo that damage in the history section, the problem gets even worse, because as I’m clicking backwards in the history section, more and more rectangle cutouts happen. No way to reverse the damage. In this this clip I tried to capture it. In this case I was colouring linework. Around the 43 second mark it happens. In the 2nd videoclip I go back in the history and make it even worse. As of now I don’t dare to touch the program any longer, since work of weeks has already been butchered by it. I’m working on an iPad Pro 12,9. IMG_1167.MP4 IMG_1168.MOV
