Designer is buggy if more than one file is open

[rudegoose]

I find AD mostly pretty stable so long as I only have one file open at a time. If there are two or more, like because I want to copy and paste between them for example, there's all kinds of weirdness, like I'll be working in one file, and hit paste, but suddenly the focus shifts to the other. The font picker also becomes really buggy, with the list disappearing before I can scroll to the font I'm after, and also quite often, it just plain crashes. This is with all recent versions (I'm now on 1.8.3), and OSX 10.15.4.

Hi Rudegoose,

There are a couple of known issues that are causing the problems you're seeing whilst in Separated Mode. In the meantime if you disable Separated Mode you shouldn't encounter these issues.

Oh ok thanks Sean P, I'll try that.
