Window Close/Minimize/Zoom button positions wrong


Recommended Posts

As of Photo 1.9.1 (and Designer 1.9.1) on macOS 10.14.6, the application window Close, Minimize, and Zoom buttons move up and down from the center to the bottom of the toolbar when opening and closing documents, and remain misplaced at the bottom after opening and closing a document.

  1. When the application opens initially, the buttons are placed correctly.
  2. When opening an existing file, the buttons briefly jump down to the lower edge of the toolbar, and then jump back up.
  3. After closing the file, the buttons remain misaligned at the bottom edge of the toolbar.

This happens in Photo 1.9.1 and Designer 1.9.1 after installing the latest update.

Hi @anthroid,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
Thanks for your report. We are already aware of this issue. It only affects macOS Mojave. I've updated/bumped the report to bring it up to dev attention again.

In Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher the hover action over the main window controls (close, minimize, zoom) do not trigger/display the function icons with the tip of the pointer. The control button icons do appear when hovering but the pointer needs to be fully over the buttons, unlike all other macOS windows. Running Monterey 12.4/M1 Pro. This seem related to this topic of the buttons moving out of position and the hover target seems to remain out of place.

After further testing, this issue seems to be caused by opening or closing a file. Afterwards if I zoom the window and zoom back the hover icons will display properly (until the next file is opened or closed). Version 1.10.5 of all Affinity apps.

I was referred to this discussion by following a link posted in a topic I started year and a half ago at Traffic Lights Jitter While Moving And Rescaling Objects In Art-board (macOS Mojave). So let me be clear: it cropped up in late 2020, the feedback was submitted throughout 1.5 years, and now we learn that not only this glitch hasn't been addressed but that it wandered over to version 2. Considering you unrolled the strategy of feature updates to V2 (which is a deal-breaker for me because of the system requirements) and of issuing incremental fixes to V1, will you ever fix the misplacement bug? It has adverse effects on me every time I zoom in/out, and its jumping causes nausea, so it's not just an annoyance. Having the Traffic Lights not being crippled by bugs is as basic as necessary in terms of Mac UX. Have you identified the culprit of why AffDes doesn't play well with Mojave relative to this defect?

Please, don't thank me for feedback. Act.
