Elements get locked, need to restart to change size/rotation


Recommended Posts

Hi, any idea how to solve this problem. When I draw something or add Text to my document it happens frequently, that the objects can´t be transformed anymore. I still can select them, but I can´t chance size or rotation. To fix this I have to close and start AP ... then it works fine, until this happens again.

Please help.

Thank you

Erwin

Hello Erwin,

I have seen other people report this since the 1.8 beta began but unfortunately, nobody internally has been able to reproduce this to my knowledge. 

Would it be possible to screenshot your screen once this happens, ensuring the Layers Panel is visible as well as the context toolbar for the Move Tool?

Can you confirm if you're using a mouse or pen & tablet.

Hi Chris, it happend to me this morning about 5 times, working with AP around 3 hours. But even, if I make a screenshot there is nothing to see ... everything looks fine, the elements are selected, but the elements can´t be resized or moved ... they are like loked. 

I use both, mouse (wired logitech) and tablet (Wacom intuos 5). And I use the latest updates of all Affinity Apps.

The next time it happens, I will take a screenshot, like you mentioned.

Thanks

Erwin

In addition to that, enable Save History With Document when it happens then save and upload the document to the forum (or support staff) as the history may reveal a sequence of events that can be used to recreate the problem.

 

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
