There are improvements to Boolean operations in the latest beta version of Designer.

@markw Thanks for the solution! But I have to keep using the public releases since the beta version may cause compatibility issues for my file, hope Affinity could release the fix soon.

Hi @amyas - if you take a look at the Beta mentioned above, you can see that it is recommended to be used instead of the official release version as it contains nothing that would cause an incompatibility with files and just includes improved functionality and bug fixes. This version will very shortly be released at 1.8.2 so it should not pose any issues

@Sean P @MattP Thanks for noticing! I'm downloading the beta.
