mouse279 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi. I am having issues with the move tool in Affinity Designer. Sometimes it won't show the resize arrows when I hover over the corner of an object, so I can't resize the object. And sometimes it won't select the object at all. The only way I can select the object is by clicking on the relevant layer which then highlights/selects the object on that layer – but then I still can't resize it. If I close Affinity Designer and then reopen, it might work, but when I open another file, it will have stopped working. It seems to be temperamental, and it is happening in multiple files, not just the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted April 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi mouse279, Is it safe to assume you're using a Wacom tablet? If so go to Edit > Preferences > Tools and uncheck 'Use Windows Ink for tablet input'. This disables Windows Ink which has been causing issues and preventing users from moving/interacting with objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted April 16, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 16, 2020 Ahhh I do apologise! Are you able to use the Mac's built-in screen recorder to get a screen recording demonstrating the issues you're getting please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse279 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Okay, I'll try. I'll have to wait till I'm having the issue again as it doesn't happen all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakendrick Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm still having the same issue occasionally, even after updating. It's not consistent, and the only way I've found to resolve it is to click on another tool, then another layer, then click back onto the layer I'm trying to adjust and click back to the Move tool.
