solved Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Since Big Sur, Affinity Designer now feels like it is been used on a long outdated machine. Moving a single circle object on a blank artboard now lags like when I moved really large numbers ob objects at the same time. When saving AD needs about one second to save a single object on a blank canvas. Even when using the Pen Tool drawing a single stroke on a blank canvas it lags in displaying that stroke. Editing now has the responsiveness it had when working under really heavy loads. Same behaviour under Big Sur 11.1 and 11.2.

Staff Sean P Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi ed lazer, Do you get this behaviour on a brand new document? If it is document specific could you attach a copy of the offending document(s) please? Lastly have you updated to 1.9.0 and does this improve anything for you?

solved Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi Sean, Thanks for the message. It is not document specific, I tried it on a few brand new documents and it is always the first stroke that has a delay. Then it occurs sporadically with the lags when drawing or moving objects. The saving delay has no reproducible pattern. It happens sometimes after small edits as well as after multiple edits. The strange thing, it does not become worse when working with large documents. No, I did not update to 1.9 yet. I am cautious now. waited almost two months with the big sur update and still experience the mentioned problems. Cant afford when it would become worse. Big sur seems to be a tough one for all the developers.

soloabner Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I confirm this general bug in the stability of the program. I am writing from an iMac 2017 4K 21.5" with macOS 11.2. Beta 1.9.0.23 did not have this problem. I attach a test video. Screen Recording 2021-02-05 at 11.14.34 PM_final.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updated today to 1.9.0 and the mentioned issue is gone. AD feels as responsive as it was before. The update solves the problem.
