Fonts and typing are super buggy

[Michaelch]

When I type inside of the font selector to search for a font, for example I want to type in Montserrat, instead of typing in the search window it types on my selected content, so my content got erased and I see word Montserrat instead.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @Michaelch.

I can’t reproduce what you’ve described. Which Affinity app are you using, and on what version of iOS/iPadOS? Please also tell us which iPad model you have, whether you’re using the onscreen keyboard or an external one, and whether you’re using an Apple Pencil, an ordinary capacitive stylus, or just your finger.

I personally find it very annoying to type text in the iPad Desiger version on a new iPad 5th generation. Doesn't matter if I use the pencil, the on screen keyboard or an external one it's always a pain in the a**. Strangely, I can't use the pencil as in other apps by just handwriting text in text frames or art text. I won't now start with the spelling checking that is always on and that it can only be deactivated for the current session - same with the grid (always have to turn it on once I reenter a file). Always have to do the same steps again and again and again... The iPad versions are nice for quick sketches but for finishing you still need a desktop computer.

What's annoying the most is that a glyph browser and the possibility to use a soft return is still missing.

I hope text editing will get more practical and usable in the future.
