Affinity Designer: iPad Pro: numerical input not working correctly in German


Recommended Posts

This is a strange one: on my 3rd generation iPad Pro with iPad OS 14.6 strange things occur whitin Designer 1.9.9.
A video is attached but let me describe what’s going on: I am working in an A4 document for print in 300 DPI, units are Millimeters. There’s a red rectangle (converted to paths, no transformations) located at 106,8 mm and 42,1 mm. Intending to move it by 1 mm to the right I click on x-value, then using the pop-up keyboard type in “-1” and click ok”. Contrary to my expectations the rectangle hasn’t moved to 107,8 mm but to 1067 mm - that’s 106,8 x 10 - 1 instead of simply subtracting 1.

Restarting Designer and restarting the iPad didn’t help.

Anyone else experience this?

UPDATE: changing Designer’s language to English fixes the issue. In English it’s “106 dot 8” mm whereas in German it’s “106 comma 8”. Implementing a German UI for Designer this seems to habe been forgotten because while in German it displays the coordinates with a comma but seems to process it as none existent while performing calculations.

Hi @JustARalf,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

I can confirm that this is a known bug within the Affinity apps, which has been fixed in our latest beta version. Please find this version linked below, which can be installed alongside your retail version (through Testflight) so that you have 2 versions of Affinity Designer iOS installed - 

I hope this helps :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
