1.8.1 Can't change font color in real time.

[amyas]

There's at least a 1s lag when changing font color (drag on color wheel, not click), I remember AD changing font color in real time in previous versions. Video:

Hi amyas,

Thanks for letting us know, this is a known issue that is with development to be fixed. I will get your comments passed on.

Hi, this is currently a bug and will be fixed in the next update

[Patrick Connor]

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Changing any attribute on text is slow) 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 1.8.2.174 for Mac
• Affinity Designer 1.8.2.4 for Mac
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Mac

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 1.8.2 update/patch to all customers.
