Using Affinity Photo 1.8.6 on a fully updated Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.15.7 (19H15), I have the following reliable bug:

"Paste into" (which I expect to paste an image in my clipboard inside a drawn selection/marquee, so that there's a mask hiding the parts of the image not inside the selection, as happens in Photoshop).

Steps to recreate: 

open an image
draw a marquee
copy some other image into the clipboard
choose "paste into"
instead of pasting the clipboard image into the drawn selection, it does the same thing as a full paste command

See the Help File...

The Paste Inside command allows you to paste one or more layers inside another layer

 

"Paste into Selection" is a Photoshop command which does not exist in Affinity apps.

 

To achieve what you want just make your selection, then use Edit > Paste then (with the selection still active) hit the Mask icon in the Layers panel

 

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
