thomaso Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 There is an UI glitch when you drag-select with Move tool a larger number of single objects. Thanks to @dibasic who initially posted it in the Questions forum: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/117222-limit-of-249-selected-objects-with-blue-outlines An unexpected restriction seems to remove and prevent the highlighting of objects from 250 and more objects. This way it can be impossible to know which objects indeed will become selected, since only the rectangle around the entire selection remains visible. – The issue affects APub, too. See in this sample the number of selected objects in the lower left corner and the suddenly disappearing highlighting for a selection above 249 items: (while there is no issue to show more than 1000 selected objects with Node Tool with highlighted shapes + nodes/handles) curve selection-drag limitation 249_b.m4v EDIT: (Switching to) the Fill Tool allows to select more than 250 highlighted objects, with shift + click.

Staff Sean P Posted June 1, 2020 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi Thomaso, Thanks for the video - I will get this queried with development! dibasic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibasic Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Is there any movement on this issue? It's very problematic - it prevents me from knowing how many objects I've selected in a given area. Also, if I select a large number of objects, and then want to deselect a single one, I have no way of knowing if I have done so. This is a major flaw in Designer, and makes want to migrate back to Illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2020 Hi @dibasic, Welcome to Affinity Forums The max number of highlighted objects is being limited for performance reasons. I've brought up the issue with the dev team again to double-check if there's a way around this. I or someone else from the staff will get back to you as soon as we have some feedback.

dibasic Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Hi, any movement on this? I would love to be able to see the outlines of the objects I have selected, rather than guessing whether they are selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note this limitation doesn't exist for the selection via Node Tool, though it definitely is more demanding –> see in the video above at 00:54 sec.
