In the new beta, when creating a new document, the Create button is blank and white.  It still functions.

Used on a mac running Sierra.

Hi @Gear maker Thanks for the screenshot, oddly I couldn't reproduce this on my Sierra iMac. This was from a fresh boot.

Did you do this from a fresh boot and is it always missing? I'm just wondering if I'm missing any steps. Thanks

I'm not seeing it under High Sierra either, but I do note that your screenshot is using the dark interface while his is on the light interface.

SPaceBar, I just restarted my computer.  Then only opened the beta Designer.  The same issue, Create is blank.  I use separated mode so I tried non-separated mode, same problem.  So I opened Opera, my chosen internet browser, and noticed that the Create became visible.  So I clicked on AD and the Create went blank again.

When another application, I tried a few, has focus the create is visible.  But when AD has focus the create is blank.  So I tried the dark interface and the Create button works correctly

Back to the light interface and it's blank again when AD has focus.  If I open Preferences then the Create is visible.  If I click in the gray area so no preset is selected then a grayed out Create is displayed.  But as soon as I click on any preset then Create is gone.

I hope that helps to find this issue.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Mike, I've just switched to light mode and it is indeed missing the text on the "Create" button.

SPaceBar, FYI this issue also affects the Document Setup window.

Thanks @Gear maker I couldn't get a screenshot of this on my Sierra iMac as every time I click the icon for Grab the button text appears and when I click back to Affinity Designer it disappears again. 👍

Try using shift+cmd+3 for a full screen screenshot that will be dumped on your desktop.

Thanks @anon2 I would have used that if it had been on my Catalina machine. Sadly my Sierra iMac it doesn't have the screenshot functionality built in which is why I was using Grab. It's sorted now though anyway. 

Thanks @Gear maker 👍

That screenshot shortcut has been in the Mac OS for more than a decade.

Aren't the (missing built-in) "screenshot functionality" and "Grab" simply the same? (... while both don't visually open an app in the mac's menu bar?)

Grab does add one option to the built-in shortcuts prior to Mojave: the option to take a timed screenshot (screenshot after a delay).

In Mojave the Command+Option+5 option was added which provides this feature as well as video recording (which in earlier versions of macOS can be done using QuickTime Player - and yes it seems strange to use "player" to capture video) over the offerings in prior versions.
