The Marquee tool isn't working the way it used to.

I used to select an area on a layer and cut/delete and it would delete that selection. Now it deletes the entire layer.

I have tried everything, am I missing something?

Windows 10, latest version Affinity 1.8.3

Is your layer a (Pixel) layer or an (Image) layer. Check on the layer name. If it is an (Image) layer, then it is a single object and delete will delete the entire layer. Use Layer > Rasterise to convert an (Image) layer to a (Pixel) layer.

Sorry all nice folks at affinity but this is simply just amazingly stupid, why do you do this cumbersome thing??? Especially since the image was a pixel image it makes no sense to go all the way Layer - Rasterise before you erase something you have marqueed, and deletes the layer, stupid.

An Image layer is a container, with different properties and capabilities than a Pixel layer. To work directly with the pixels you need to do it differently than if it were a Pixel layer.
