ellycolor Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hello! I love all the Affinity Products (including Designer), only that sometimes, when I work with objects (especially when I move them or copy/paste them) I can't move/transform them anymore. They just get "locked", I see the bounding box when I click on them, and the only way to move them is with the arrow buttons. Depending on my work flow, it happens from a few times a day to once every few minutes. The only thing that solves the problem is closing and reopening the program, but imagine opening and closing the program even once a few minutes. It gets very frustrating! Hope this problem will be solved soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi @ellycolor Welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear you are having some issues. Would you be able to make a video of the steps you have to take to result in your item no longer transforming please? It would be a big help in showing me how to recreate the issue.

ellycolor Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Thank you @SPaceBar for your response! Sure, I managed to do a screen recording, using some random shapes that I added in different groups. I noticed the bug shows up especially when I work with object groups and object subgroups, and when I work with multiple artboards (especially when I copy/paste objects between artboards or between different files). You can see the actual bug (as I'm trying to move the objects) at the time of 1:17 . problem_with_moving_objects_designer_08.07.2020.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hi @ellycolor Thanks for adding the video. Are you by any chance using and tablet? This looks like an issue what can happen when switching between a tablet and a mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellycolor Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 @SPaceBar I'm using the tablet for drawing and the mouse for other steps (such as transforming and editing the nodes). Maybe that's the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellycolor Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 @SPaceBar I found the solution for this problem now, thanks to your idea: when I can't move or transform any object with my mouse, I just move it with my tablet a little and it "defreezes" the objects. Thank you for your suggestion! SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's great news, I am so pleased you found the solution. 🙌 It was my colleague @Sean P that suggested it to me so I can't take the credit. Sean P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted July 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 10, 2020 Haha not a problem! It is something we have logged with development so hopefully you shouldn't see this in the next release! SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Lalande Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I do have the same problem. I will try your temporary solution, hoping for a fix in the next release of AD as soon as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellycolor Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 @Daniel Lalande Hope it works. I'm waiting for the next release as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
