When applying an OCIO adjustment, the adjustment panel disappears whenever the iPad is moved or tilted. The adjustment panels dropdown menus are also cutoff by the bottom of the screen.

I'm using Affinity Photo 2, and I'm using the latest release of the app on my iPad, which is also running iPadOS 17.1.2. My iPad is an iPad Pro 11" with an M2 processor, with a storage size of 128GB. I'm not sure what steps exactly make this issue occur, it seems to pop up completely randomly, on new documents or on old ones. It doesn't seem to matter if there's a large or small amount of layers, or whether or not I'm using the Apple Pencil. I try to open an adjustment menu for a filter (It doesn't seem to care what filter/adjustment it is, it happens on them all) and the menu closes itself constantly. It survives restarting the application, restarting my iPad, closing and re-opening project files, going to different project files, and seems to go away as randomly as it starts up. It just popped up again on a completely different project file of mine as well. The menu sometimes closes itself less than a second after it opens, and sometimes it closes while I'm adjusting things within said menu. It has been happening since I was on iPadOS 16, and it's been happening on and off ever since Affinity V2.1. I don't know if it would happen on previous versions as I've had the program for less than a year. I've attached a video of the problem happening, as well as one of the project files that it's popped up on. RPReplay_Final1700702912.mp4 example.afphoto

After using a while on my ipad pro M1, affinity photo 2.04 automatically hides the adjustment dialouge of curves, levels, etc... when trying to open it. sometimes it stays visible for some secs and then hides. The application like this is unusable. restart the app does not help. restart the ipad helps for a while. with affinity photo 1, this never happens. also in Beta 2.1 this issue is clear reproduceable.

I'm in Affinity Designer v. 2.0.2.2 on a 6th Gen 12.9" iPad Pro. The behavior of the Gradient Map Adjustment layer is odd. The Gradient Map pop-up flickers on and off, and generally adjusting the values of the points on my gradient map seems to have no effect. If I exit the file, and then open it up again, it seems to work correctly for a bit. I can't seem to predict when it'll work correctly. This seems to be the case with both vector layers, and pixel layers.

I frequently use my iPad with the folio case which props it at a slight angle. Interestingly Affinity Photo AND Affinity Designer seem to be reacting to this angle when trying to place photos. The whole interface flickers strangely and taps aren't always registered. The video demonstrates it in Affinity Photo but the behavior is also the same in Designer. Previous to 2.0 I noticed other features in Affinity Designer such as keyboard visibility that were delicately affected by the slight angle. I haven't determined if these are still issues but I haven't seen any other iPad app that has had issues with this angle. You'll notice the flickering only occurs while the iPad is at the slight angle, but not when it is upright. This is an 11in iPad Pro M1 running iPadOS 16.2 (a). I have noticed this in previous versions of the OS IMG_5679.MOV

What can I say. It flickers on and off. Video. Wait for it. It’s fairly random. IMG_9037.MOV
