This happened to me multiple times and I cannot quite reproduce it, but:

Sometimes pressing cmd+a selects all text in the textbox and sometimes it switches the focus to the layers panel and selects all objects instead.

I believe it has to do with speed, meaning if you work on a project you double-click on a textbox to enter new text but the UI is not ready yet for textinput and so the "select all" command selects objects... I'm not sure. What I know is text input has always had a lag in affinity...

So I think this is a what a programmer would call a "race-condition" – only this time between the computer and the user... 

 

-unnecessary little rant follows, please ignore-

I like the Affinity Suite and have very high hopes, but there are many unusual slow situations and other non-native things happening.

For example I use the system command HIDE (⌘H) very often to switch programs which I usually do by ALT-clicking a tiny gap from the desktop. In a native mac-app this is instant, but in publisher, with 4 to 5 open documents the panels and windows are disappearing one-after-one, so I have the suspicion they are doing some weird cross-platform/non-native stuff with the document windows.

Also, dragging a panel from one place to the other sometimes drops docked parts of it...  and while dragging, some panels move over or under the other ones...

Hi @woefi,

I'm afraid there's not much we can do if you can't reproduce it. When you double click on a text frame, the cursor instantly changes, so there is no delay there. I wonder if you hit CMD + A just before or at the same time as double click.

Yeah, it happened only sometimes, its hard to track...

Recently I had to copy/paste single words into maaaany textboxes, and I think, switching documents and/or programs was also involved. It obviously had to happen rapidly fast as it's a rather boring task.
