Efvee Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Hello, I have discovered a bug in Affinity Photo 1.8.3. When trying to select a font with two windows open the font gets chosen without my clicking and the inactive window switches to the front. fontswitch.mp4 Plumspot 1 Quote
Old Bruce Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Same happens here on Mac OS 10.12.6 I'll check on OS 10.14.6 later and if it does the same I will report back. I also noted that trying to type in the second window would switch back to the first window.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Staff MEB Posted April 5, 2020 Staff Posted April 5, 2020 Hi Efvee, Thanks for your report. I'm seeing the same behaviour here. Issue logged to be looked at. Plumspot and Efvee 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Gladany Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Hi, I have a similar problem in all the Affinity apps for Mac. Now (1.8.3) if I scroll the font list with the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard, it changes the font one time and then it starts to move the text. Thanks Scroll_font_problem.mov Quote
Plumspot Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Same issue Mac OS 10.14.6. Closing the other open documents fixes this but is not a preferred way of working only on one document at a time. Update: I am unable to work now as the font will not stay to what I changed it to and it also jumps around to Safari windows too. Please help and hurry!

Staff MEB Posted April 14, 2020 Staff Posted April 14, 2020 Hi mhennick, I'm assuming you are working in Separated Mode. If you merge all document windows going to menu Window > Merge All Windows (still in Separated Mode) or exit Separated Mode entirely, it should work correctly without the need to close the other documents until we fix this.

Plumspot Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 Confirmed! Thank you, this works and I see I can undock the studio tools to move to the 2nd monitor. Nice work! Quote

Efvee Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 The text related window switching appears to be fixed in 1.8.4 for all apps i.e. Photo, Designer, and Publisher. Good work! Patrick Connor 1 Quote
