Resize a layer in Affinity Photo problem

[CauliFlower]

Hi there, 

I couldn't find a thread for this specific issue, but let me know if one has already been created. 
When I make any adjustment to a layer, that layer becomes blurry, (fluffy on the edges). This also happens when I simply move a layer. 
It is particularly obvious when adjusting hand drawn layers (black ink on white background).
Is there any way to preserve the sharpness of a layer when resizing and/or repositioning?

I've attached three images for reference. First is the full image. Second is a section zoomed in. Third is the same section after the layer has been moved slightly.

 

Cheers

Welcome to the forums.
This could be caused by many things.
The first that springs to mind is that your document could be low-DPI and moving the layer could make the pixels in the layer non-aligned with the pixels of the document. When this happens the software will try to ‘fill-in’ the pixels as best it can and therefore the layer could look ‘fuzzy’.
My attached video shows a simple example. Note how things change when I set “Force Pixel Alignment” OFF and ON.
Can you check to see if this is the problem?
