1.8.1 - stuck in "Divide shapes"

[waveman777]

Hi, here is a bug a came across. After applying "Divide" command on fairly simple shapes, Affinity Designer has been stuck for hours now, doing nothing, shows "Dividing shapes" progress bar and nothing is happening. Since I have other documents open as well, I believe I'll need to force quite the app and loose all unsaved work. Nice.

Hi @waveman777

Can you attach the project file in question so we can have a look?

Sure. it was a new file so I didn't have a copy of it, by I managed to recreate the scenario. Here is how I did it.

• 1. I created a new file this way: new > web tab > changed units to pixels >  changed values to 600x400px > changed resolution to 72dpi
• 2. copied an object made of 3 shapes from Adobe Illustrator
• 3. pasted to the newly created document in AD 1.8.1
• 4. deselected and selected all by CMD+A
• 5. clicked "Divide" icon on the top right 

And then after a second the progress bar appears and nothing is happening and the software become unresponsive. 

The file I uploaded is a saved version in the moment after I pasted the objects from AI to AD. All you need to do is to open it, select everything by CMD+A and then click "Divide". I can replicate the problem each time with this method. 

Please let me know if the same is happening on your side. It's been done in version 1.8.1, but I see that the new version is available, so I upgraded to 1.8.2 and I cannot replicate it anymore... so, either the problem was resolved, or something else was I trigger on my side. Hard to tell at this point. but if you still have versions 1.8.1 available, this file might be helpful. 

Thanks

Thanks. We have had some boolean operation fixes in 1.8.2, so the issue is most likely fixed.
