Crop tool not working on Photo Developer

Crop tool is not working on develop persona, it started randomly, today is all the time.

I select the crop tool, some times the overlay grids disappear, the little squares to grab the selection are always gone but most important, images cannot be cropped they only rotate.

Today some random pixels started to show up when I try to manipulate the image... 

Issue started with previous version of affinity, updated to 1.9, problem persists.

I'm running a desktop Mac, 3.4 GHz Quad core, 24 GB Ram.

Images are 24MB DNGs from a trusty Leica Camera T

Any ideas on how to fix it?

SOLUTION:  I have only tested the Crop tool in my Mac so far (OS 10.13.6).   I noticed in Affinity Photo (1.10.5) the crop tool was greyed out.  No Crop option worked including using Photo Persona Mode.

I opened (Placed)  the image file (.PNG) in Aff Designer and used the crop tool in Designer then I edited in Affinity Photo and this switched on all the Crop Tool attributes in Photo.  Thereafter Photo Crop worked on its own whenever I opened Photo independently.  Should Photo Crop fail again I will redo this procedure by opening in Designer and Crop, then continue to edit/crop in Photo.

This is a bug that needs fixing.  However it seems Designer Crop will command Photo Crop to work if Photo Crop forgets to activate.

I have Windows 11 and will test the same problem on that OS.

Further to my finding that on my Mac, initially using Affinity Designer Crop and then to Edit in Photo is able to activate Aff PHOTO crop, (also plus missing guide lines, etc), this procedure has NO need for rasterisation of the image file.  That is, if you applied a "Live" Perspective in Photo to the image, that perspective can still be manipulated when editing back in Designer.
