Impossible to highlight text in frame on pasteboard area


Recommended Posts

Hi,

there is a little, but annoying bug I encountered when trying to edit text frames placed on the pasteboard area outside the document pages proper. When I try to highlight a word by double clicking, the word gets selected (witnessed by the fact that I can delete the entire word using backspace), but it doesn’t receive a highlight. So it’s basically impossible to prepare anything text-related on the pasteboard. See my video.

Thank you for having a look,

Alex :)

Works okay here on Mac OS 10.14.6. What is your highlight colour set to?

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Standard system blue. Certainly not light grey or transparent. 

But your comment made me reconsider the issue, and alas! it’s a screen redraw problem! At certain zoom levels the highlight just isn’t drawn. :)

Open GL, macOS Sierra latest, vintage MBP late 2011, if that helps.

Sorry.

Thank you for reporting a problem using the pre 1.8.0 beta builds. It appears that a member of the Affinity QA team didn't get round to fully investigating this specific report posted in the bugs forums. We are very sorry for this oversight. Yours is one of a number of reports that I am posting this apology to, using an automated script. 

Now we have released 1.8.3 on all platforms containing many hundreds of bug fixes, and we hope your problem has already been fully addressed. If you still have this problem in the 1.8.3 release build, then the QA team would really appreciate you reporting again it in the relevant Bugs forum.

Each of those links above contains instructions how best to report a bug to us. If that is what you already did in this thread just copy paste your original report into a new thread. We appreciate all the information that you have including sample files and screen shots to help us replicate your problem.

This thread has now been locked as the QA team are not following the threads to which this automatic reply is made, which is why we would appreciate a new bug report if you are still have this problem in the release build.
