[BUG] When closing secondary document the primary switches to first viewpoint


Recommended Posts

Designer latest retail release (1.8.3.641) - Windows 10 Professional 

Steps to reproduce

  • I open a rather large (memory intensive, hundreds of layers, groups with fx and gradients) document A3 sized (primary doc)
  • Note that this document has 6 added viewpoints
  • I zoom deep into a random area and make edits
  • I open a another rather large (memory intensive) document A3 sized (secondary doc)
  • Second document has no viewpoints set
  • I just open it - no edits or zooming - then I close the secondary document again 

Expected

  • The primary document is visible exactly where I left it

Observed

  • The primary document switches to the first viewpoint in the list at 100% and is now far away from there I left it
  • "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
  • Computer-, operating system- and software agnostic; I am a result oriented professional. Look for a fanboy somewhere else.

Howdy again @Sean P

This one is a really annoying bug when working with more than one document. It shouldn't be code intensive fix. I hope you can bump it with development.

The way I fix the issue is simply by not using viewpoints at all. Which of course is a shame.
