Paul Chiswick Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 This happened today. It was there yesterday, then today . . . it wasn't! High Sierra 10.13.6 Publisher 1.7.3 If I set up a command in Preferences (such as Shift+V) I can get visible layers to merge. However, standard keyboard shortcuts for Merge Down and Merge Selected don't work, Quote
Paul Chiswick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Posted December 15, 2019 Solved! Cleared all preferences then reinstated Serif preferences. Weird! Quote
Paul Chiswick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Posted December 15, 2019 It's gone again! Tried resetting prefs . . . this time no luck. What's going on Affinity? Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Seems fine here. Is the command available via the Layers menu, not a right click.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Paul Chiswick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Posted December 15, 2019 Yep, it's on the drop down menu, butnot on the right click . . . Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Hi again, I am now looking at the machine with Mac OS 10.14.6 and the same problem is there. Works on 10.12.6 so maybe it is an OS glitch.

The Layer menu has some things that are not on the right-click context menu for the Layers panel. Are you saying that the keyboard shortcuts aren't working (your first post) or that the items are not on the right-click context menu (your later posts)?

Paul Chiswick Posted December 19, 2019 Author Posted December 19, 2019 Different fie posted as previous seems corrupted. If layer merge is visible on first opening, close file and reopen. My merge options (right click layer) disappear on second opening. Chron19.afpub Quote

Which page should we look at, and which layer should we right-click on in the Layers panel to see the problem?

But I have posted this as a bug. Edited December 19, 2019 by Paul Chiswick Move Along People 1 Quote
Staff Gabe Posted December 19, 2019 Staff Posted December 19, 2019 I managed to replicate it now and logged it with our developers. This only seems to affect macOS and not Windows. Quote
