One of my artboards appears to suddenly have opacity on it

[Gigatronix Pete]

Hello team

I am using 2 artboards on a page in Designer & was working on the top one today using HSL & Contast adjustments, finished what i was doing & saved my work.

When i zoomed out to see both boards the bottom one appears to suddenly have some kind of transparency on it!
I have no idea how this happened or indeed how to fix it  ...can anyone help at all?

Best regards

Pete

You have probably at some time selected items and hit a number key (8 = 80% transparency, 3 = 30% etc.) Select the layers and see what the opacity is.

Hello @Old Bruce & thanks for the reply

Everything inside the artboard was showing 100% but when i clicked back on the main 2D artboard header again instead of showing 100% as it does in my screenshot it was showing 20%
So i guess i must've pressed a shortcut to 20% while it was highlighted

Anyway problem solved & thanks very much for your quick reply & help

This is one of the most annoying features of Affinity. Serif please:

- allow turn off this shortcut. I rarely set the opacity that I really don't need these exclusive shortcuts, which also activate rather unintentionally *).

- add the display of layers with the status, when a some parameter has been changed. For example, changing the opacity, blend mode, etc.

*) This is related to unwanted and non-standard behavior when editing a value entry field, eg in the Transform panel, Stroke width,... If I select a field to enter a value, it must remain selected/active even after pressing Enter. Enter is only intended to take over the new values and apply them to the object/document, not to lose the focus of this field. Pressing the numeric key should then be understood as entering a new value (if the previous one does not match), not as a command to change the Opacity. The current behavior of Affinity is really unacceptable and completely against the standards of handling editing fields (at least for Windows).
