Nils Austa Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Each time I start Affinity Designer and then switch to any other app, a "Accute symbol" appear as soon I start typeing something in other app. Windows version 1.7.3.481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 9, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hi @Nils Austa, What language is your keyboard set to? Can you attach a screen recording of this in action? Make sure you have the On screen keyboard in view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- S - Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I remember something similar coming up a while back when the language was set to Czech and the keyboard layout set to Czech QWERTY. With the above language/keyboard layout, the = key (on an English UK keyboard layout, but is possibly a dedicated accent key on a Czech layout) acts as a trigger, which allows typing key combinations—for example typing acute accents. EG: = key plus the letter a is á = key plus the letter e is é = key plus the letter i is í = key plus the letter o is ó = key plus the letter u is ú It almost seems as though when Affinity Photo/Designer is launched, it's simulating pressing this key; meaning this is the first key (the trigger key) of the key combination (so nothing is displayed on the screen), then when the user types it activates the second key in the key combination— creating the acute accent. What's really odd though is that it only seems to do it with Czech QWERTY, not QWERTZ. It will be interesting to know whether this is what the OP is using as well.

Staff Gabe Posted January 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks @- S -, We are aware of the Czech keyboard issue, and was wondering if OP was using a different keyboard language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
