Sofa Gas Rue Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Issue/situation: When changing typeface, all my hidden documents are popping back up and the typeface reverts back to the previous selected typeface. See attached screen recording of the issue.Question: What can I do to make the type tool work correctly? Screen recording: See screen recording of the issue in action, I've tried restarting the app and computer but the issue presists. Operating system: OSX Catalina 10.15.3 Affinity Photo: Version 1.8.3 Unusual hardware: Wacom tablet Intuos pro Any help or input on this matter is much appreciated, as I'm considering moving from other editors to Affinity Photo. Thank you in advance. PS: if this post is in the wrong forum, then please let me know, and I will submit it in another.

h_d Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Me too, similar setup to yours. Choosing fonts in Separated Mode is practically impossible, even if all open documents are maximised. Works fine when non-separated. Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

Hi h_d, Glad to hear I'm not the only one, as I thought I had done something wrong in my setup - but sorry to hear you are also dealing with it! I will give the non-separated mode a go, but I will post anything I find about it here in case it can be of help to you as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 13, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi Sofa Gas Rue, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a known issue that's already logged to be looked at. Another thing you can do to work around it is to merge all document windows going to menu Window > Merge All Windows while in Separated Mode.

Hi MEB, Thanks for the workaround, I'll use that until there is a fix for it in 'separate' mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
