Tolerance

You mean Screen Tolerance in Snapping options?

Or Tolerance in Flood Fill/Select/Erase Tool?

If you mean Tolerance in the tools, you need to click instead of dragging. It’s by design that dragging up/down or right/left will increase/decrease the tolerance setting.

It depends on the type of day I've had.

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.

P.S. very useful and practical, because the effect of the Tolerance value on the selection is immediately visible, so that the correct value can be easily set.

ideally can be turned off so the user can stick to standard ways of using tolerance if they desire

The standard way of using a particular tolerance value is to specify it via an input control, and you can still do this. You obviously need to be aware of what dragging does in the Affinity apps, but you know that now. :)

standard in Affinity only perhaps, and why there is no way to turn it off, I am on a Mac not iPad with a full key board for short cuts, how do I stop this annoying random changing of tolerance for tools that normally (in all other apps to my knowledge) have no tolerance, why does the brush tool even have tolerance, it would be nice if it just stayed a normal brush

Paint Brush Tool hasn't Tolerance.

Tolerance settings has only Flood Tools.

Ah yeah I think I was on the colour replacement tool, the default of the constantly cycling tools, under the brush was finally overcome by turning on the shift option, I'd suggest make that the default and make it easier for people starting out, instead of having to keep cycling through tools whenever switching between brush and eraser
