MacOS: 10.15.6 Affinity Designer: 1.8.4 I've noticed there are a few bug reports around symbols and I'm not sure if this is related or new but hopefully it'll help debug. I've reproduced a minimal example. I've created two artboards and added a line using the Pixel Persona and a rect using Designer Persona to artboard 1 and made them both symbols. I then added a copy of the symbol to artboard 2. Modifying properties of the rect work as expected. Modifying properties of the line seem do not update as expected. Rotating the line seems to complete break and forces the line to disappear from artboard 2. The preview image however does show that the line has been rotated. I'm not sure if this is supposed to work this way or not with symbols, but when the (Symbol) layer is selected (not the Rectangle or Pixel layer) and the object is rotated, it only rotates the instance of the selected element and none of the other symbols are adjusted. Thanks for the support, this one is causing some headaches in a project I'm revisiting.

I Love Symbols, but unfortunately I could not find a workaround for the following bug. The symbols don't synchronise with pixel layers, and mysterious things start to happen. Lean back and watch... affinityBugSymbols_.mp4

Hi, Bug (or missing feature): When I edit a pixel layer within a symbol group, the change will not sync across all other symbols. I wonder how I can have a pixel layer under a symbol sync across all symbol instances ? Thanks for your help. Best. pixel_layer_within_symbol_does_not_sync.mp4

When I move a symbol layer with the Move tool, its child layers may disappear. The disappeared layer went far away. Why does this happen? Is it a bug? Affinity Designer version: 1.8.3.641 ad_bug_20200726_181504.mp4 odoshi_bug.afdesign

Good day! I'm working on some pixel art and Im using the Symbols to make mock ups for my game. However, I noticed a very strange occurrence when it comes to using pixel layers with symbols. I will do my best to write out my thoughts but its easier to show than to tell. Here is a link demonstrating the issue. Here is a written Description of the events 1) I create a stroke with the pixel persona 2) From that stroke I create a symbol 3) Place instances symbols in the scene 4) Attempt to edit the pixel layer in the symbol. This does not effect the other pixel layers in the other instances for some reason. Despite this, scaling and rotating the layer itself still effects the other instances 5) To attempt to fix this, I create a new pixel layer and draw on that. This pixel layer remains synced with the other instances. I then group and rasterize the two layers to update all the instances. This is a very poor description, Please refer to the video of what happens. Attached also is the test file I made for this. PixelLayer_SymbolMadness.afdesign
