1.10.4 performance and shortcuts

[majdy]

Hello, 

just wanted to post some bugs I found on the latest version of all affinity apps for macOS.

 

1.
Switching between persona is slow with lag at the begining, also zoom or pan with the trackpad behave the same way.

 

2.
Another issue is with keyboard shortcuts, for example I cannot use cmd + ; for show/hide guides. This issue is not present while using english QWERTY layout, but with my QWERTZ keyboard input it is and it's annoying (macOS boop sound is hitting me every time).

 

Current SW and HW:
macOS 12.0.1
MBP 16" i9 2,3GHz / 64GB / 5500M 8GB

We are aware of this and a few other performance issue on Monterey as outlined here

I don't currently have access to a QWERTZ keyboard but will get this checked out and logged, if it isn't already

Thank you for reply. 

Just in case, you don't need to have a physical QWERTZ keyboard, you can test this bug if you add another input in your keyboard settings:

Thank you, i always forget about this option!

Issue replicated and i'll get this logged if it isn't already  

As a workaround, you can go into Preferences for Affinity and on the keyboard shortcut section, set the 2nd drop down to View and you can assign a new shortcut for show guides

Thanks for your advice.

Then I should also assign a new shortcuts for show grid command, and others.

Hope the update is coming soon.
