Button entitled "Current Layer" which enables me to select "Current layer and below" has disappeared.

There should be a button on the top of Affinity Photo that allows me to select Current Layer and below but this is missing. Can anyone tell me how to get it back please.

Not with the tool you have, try the Stamp (Clone) tool or the Inpainting tool. Don't really know what the Pixel tool would be doing with both layers.

Thank you. That seems to have worked.

FWIW, the toolbar that shows options like Current Layer, Flow, Opacity, etc. is named the Context toolbar. That is because what it shows changes on the current context; IOW, which tool is currently selected.

Depending on which tool is selected, there may be just a very few items on it or so many that not all of them will fit, in which case there will be a ⨠ icon on the right end of the toolbar that if clicked will open a short menu with the remaining ones on it.
