Dragging symbols from pallete does not work.


Recommended Posts

Dragging symbols from the symbols pallete onto the canvas does not work.

When a symbol is created, it appears in the palette but cannot be dragged from the palette to the drawing. Just nothing happens and the symbol is not placed on the canvas.

I'm sorry, I closed the AP and AD and running all again. Currently dragging and dropping works again. if I run into this problem again I'll let you know and I'll make video. Thank you for checking and I'm sorry for bother

I second this report.
 Dragging of symbols to the page works for a while but at some point  it stops.  Restarting AD  and reopening the same file  helps - dragging of symbols starts working.
This effect is not reproducible but it happens repeatedly in unpredicted moments.

Are you intentionally avoiding upgrading to the 1.9 (now 1.9.2, soon to be 1.10) release?

You asked : "Are you intentionally avoiding upgrading to the 1.9 (now 1.9.2, soon to be 1.10) release?" 

Yes, intentionally. 
On Feb 5 I've  posted that   I am   "Unable to rollback from 1.9.0.932 to the previous version". 
I made an upgrade and worked on it  for a while.  When the bug in printing was found I attempted to rollback to the previous version but... the upgrade  resulted in converting my very big file to a new version/format.Rollback  failed and I   huge amount of changes made to my afdesign file with new version  was lost with catastrophic consequences to my project. 
So since then I am reluctant to make upgrades. At some point I  obviously will have to but  with all the precautions and archiving of all my stuff.  But that was the first time in several years  when Affinity let me down so brutally and caught me off guard.
