Efvee Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hello, I am seeing consistently strange behaviour with the shape tool and two documents open. 1) When choosing the shape colour the picker closes as soon as the mouse clicks and then Photo switches to the other window 2) When adjusting the opacity slider for the new shape, the other document window becomes active and the shape loses its colour Screen_Recording_2020-03-26_at_11_32.10_PM.mp4 Chris B and IPv6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 27, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hey Efvee, I can reproduce this in the retail version however I have just checked the beta and it seems to be fixed. If you do notice it again after the retail version updates, please reply in this thread so I get notified. Thanks Efvee 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresainAK Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I am seeing something similar in both Photos and Publisher when I have two documents open. In the current instance I am trying to edit text in Photos document and as soon as I have typed one letter it switches to the other document, which is open on my other monitor. Publisher was doing something similar, I just don't remember the exact edit I was doing. I am on Mac, using the latest public updates (not Beta) of both programs.

Staff Chris B Posted March 30, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hey TheresainAK, What version of the app are you using? Have you tried to reproduce it with the beta? I'm hoping this is truly fixed in the beta but I'm all ears if you're still hitting the issue.

Efvee Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 This is fixed in Photo 1.8.3. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_blanc Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Just updated to v. 1.8.3 .... (imac 2019, mojave 10.14.4, affinity photo) Sadly, the text type issue is not yet solved: typing (or deleting) just one character brings up other open file. Closing all other files, and it works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi @TheresainAK, @alex_blanc, Welcome to Affinity Forums Can you both please confirm you are working in Separated Mode? If so the text issue is (now) also logged and hopefully fixed in an upcoming Beta/update. My apologies for the inconvenience caused. As pointed out working with a single document at a time or merging the document windows in Separated Mode (menu Window > Merge All Windows) should solve the issue until the fix is ready. Thanks for your support. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresainAK Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yes, in both Photos and Publisher I was working in separated mode. Merging the windows will work for the time being. Thank you, Theresa MEB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
