Sometimes as I am working with various objects in the same layer my Move Tool or Node Tool no longer selects an objects from the layer list , although I have just selected other object in the same layer. The top layer and all of the layer objects are open. I sometimes can then click on the object itself (on the map on which I am working) and it is selected, and it shows then appears highlighted in the layer list.
This may be a memory problem, especially since earlier I moved layers around in in the layer palette. When I save and close the doc and then exit AD and bring AD and the doc up again, everything works fine, i.e., I can select all of the objects from the layer list.
Is this a memory problem, perhaps connected with the fact that my current doc may be dependent upon an earlier version of the same doc, as discussed in an earlier post (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3649-file-size-changes/?hl=file+size)?
