1.8.0.555 Layer panel is lazy for text objects

[shojtsy]

When creating an "Art Text" layer panel shows text content as well for each of the texts.  The updating of this panel is incorrect. After typing a text fast and waiting, the layer name in the layer panel keeps showing some earlier state of the text content. When clicking away in the layer panel to another layer, the name is suddenly updated. My expected behavior is that the layer panel keeps up to date with text content, or fixes itself after some short user idle time.

Hey shojtsy,

It does seem to be a bit lazy. I've shown the behaviour to the developers and logged this with them. Thank you

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Layers Panel is a bit slow to update with Art Text) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Photo 1.8.1.611 for Windows
• Affinity Designer 1.8.1.611 for Windows
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Windows

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.1/1.8.2 update/patch to all customers.
