hiringManager Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Hi Mark, kindly delete if you're aware of this already/ don't want to spook people. I'm not sure what it is flagging, but may want to potentially look into it. Acronis is hitting for one signature in this beta. I'm not sure if that is normal for these releases, but thought I'd share just in case! VirusTotal -hiringManager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solanaar Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hello, I noticed the beta crashing less with actions that would crash the release version constantly. Do you have any idea, why that might be? I detailed the crash behaviour in this post: I tested it this morning and the same actions that crashed the retail version quite reliable (opening and closing layer-groups, adjusting global colours in the colour-window) didn't crash the beta. Any idea, why it seems more stable now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Sonny Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I just tested the latest build with my complexity design and the performance is much more smoothly than latest official release build. Can't wait to get this new AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanaar Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Scenario: Create two shapes (tested it with circle and rectangle tool). Both have to be closed initially. Convert both to curve. Use break curve on one shape, then select both shapes, select all nodes of one shape, then drag those nodes onto one node of the other shape (tested with snapping on only) leads to a crash. Reproducable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reproducable. Hi Solarnaar, If you do come across a bug with the beta build please create a new thread detailing the bug and reproduction methods, rather than posting in the announcement thread. It keeps the announcement thread clean and from cross posting/replying to all different bugs. In this case I had already moved this report from the last thread into a new topic and replied to it stating that I had reproduced it and passed it on to development: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
