HowA Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Hi, Is there someone facing the same issues that I'm? Look the image, as you can see when editing a document the purple paint appears to help when editing the shapes and other objects. In my case the purple paint is not erasing itself out. This problem started to happen after I've installed the DisplayFusion software, does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue without a complete reinstall? I've done it but had no success.

walt.farrell Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 In your screenshot I see a large square (or diamond-shaped) purple frame (usually showing Snapping Candidates), and two purple paint strokes in the image itself. As you mentioned "purple paint" it sounds like you're talking about the paint strokes in the image, but I've never seen anything like that from Affinity.

Sorry, I expressed myself in the wrong way, the purple boundary is the snapping candidates showing when selection shapes right? If so, that's my problem, the snapping candidate boundary appears in my programa but it doesn's disappear. I tried it now, when disabling the snapping feature the purple boundary vanishes, but as soon as I reactive it again the bug starts to manifest again, as you can see in the image the snapping candidates purple boundary doesn't fade out when selecting multiple objects. The boundaires appear when I toggle the snapping feature. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Thanks for the clarification. That should help with the diagnosis, or with someone providing an answer HowA 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff Sean P Posted March 2, 2020 Staff Posted March 2, 2020 Hi HowA, You can disable the snapping candidates by unticking 'Show Snapping Candidates' in the Snapping dropdown. You will then see a brief purple highlight (which fades out) when an object is added as a candidate. Quote
