Tint Slider jumps to 100% on text

[Máté]

1. Using Affinity Photo 1.9.0.932 (but happened with the previous version 1.8.2...)

2. Yes,

3. Happens for new documents.

4. I've attached a video but it doesn't show the mouse cursor and I couldn't figure out how to capture only one screen.

Operating system: Windows 10 (10.0.19041)

Expected behavior: Change text color to white

Recipe:

- Open a new document,

- Choose the text tool,

- write anything,

- select the move tool,

- go to the text color picker (tint slider will pop-up) and try sliding it. It jumps back to 100%, other sliders are working. Similarly the tint slider is not working in the right panel, but the slider itself doesn't jump to 100%.

- If you deselect, then re-select the text using the move tool, the tint slider functions as intended.

No unusual hardware or application.

It was a long time ago but I seem to recall this working in pre 1.8.x

Hi @Máté

We have made fixes/improvements to this area of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Photo 1.9.1 beta for Windows
• Affinity Photo 1.9.1 beta for Mac
• Affinity Photo 1.9.1 beta for iPad currently no bet

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.9.1 update/patch to all customers.
