thomaso Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 In v193 APub's Photo persona in the Lightning live filter UI the Color setting* always increases the Distance, regardless of using color sliders or typing values. And regardless of the layer object type (and whether grouped or not grouped). This issue doesn't happen in the APh app. v193 apup-photo-lightning-UI-color.m4v *EDIT: just noticed that each option in the Live Lighting window increases the Distance.

walt.farrell Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Interesting. Doesn't happen in Windows. Is this specific to the one document, or does it happen in other documents, too?

loukash Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 I was asking because there are documented issues with color wells, sliders, et al, caused by the infamous default language bug.

It's quite a complex mix-up on El Capitan: Affinity apps are all set to EN-US keyboard layout is my custom hybrid based on CH-DE with additional Czech diacritics and some other tweaks primary OS language is EN (default, based on US) with region CH, but somewhat customized to work around a decimal and thousands separator bug in FileMaker on CH systems (Yep, I'm a tinkerer…) Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Sonoma > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 18 > Affinity v2
thomaso Posted May 12, 2021 Author Posted May 12, 2021 Thanks. [ Your setup looks like "Don't try this at home" or a kind of security protection, too complex to get copied or reproduced. Lucky you that Serif respects this special case "by design" and made the lighting issue not appear – possibly any lucrative Swiss connection 😎 ] Maybe my Lighting Distance issue is (also) related to the color value field issue: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=afb-4577 Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6

loukash Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Still couldn't reproduce it, but the plot thickens! Window size with app language "English" (=UK): Window size with app language "English (US)", "Default", also "German" (in German of course): WTF?

loukash Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 Rebooted in Catalina and still can't reproduce. Apart from the different panel width, that is.
