Sandi Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Every time I try to use the brush tool on a mask, the brush tool changes to the Eraser tool every time I am in the middle of using the brush tool. I change back to the brush, start to use it and after a few moments it changes to the eraser tool again. I have tried removing the eraser tool from the toolbar but it still, miraculously, returns when using the brush. I am using Mac Big Sur and am on the latest Affinity update 1.93. This is getting very frustrating. I have tried closing down and reopening Affinity, and rebooting my Mac, still to no avail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandi Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Thankyou Pšenda. I have just tried that but the problem arises when I am actually using the brush. Halfway through a brush stroke it changes to eraser. Actually I have just had another thought…I think I need to change the buttons on my Wacom tablet in case that is interfering SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hi @Sandi Welcome to the Affinity forums. Let us know if the issue is with your Wacom tablet. If not could you provide a video of the issue while it's happening please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandi Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hi @SPaceBar, Yes, just started to sort it out and YES it was the Wacom tablet shortcut that somehow kept changing to Eraser. I have now reconfigured the Wacom buttons and the problem has resolved. When I changed one of the buttons back to Eraser, the problem returned, so yes it was the Wacom all along and not Affinity.
