Novice question: While using Affinity Designer and opening a new file, the artboard starts to move horizontal to the right when I place the cursor inside the viewport and then stops halfway out of site. If I during this movement places the cursor outside the window/viewport it stops. Have I managed to change any settings or is this something that can be fixed?

Hi @MEB

Thanks, I "rebooted" my wireless mouse, and it worked. Never happened to me before I do have a 3D mouse that, from time to time make some problems when something’s leaning against the mouse.

Thanks again.

When cursor is in or out of the artboard, artboard is moving left or right or up or down according to my finger movement. I checked out preferences, couldn't find any solution.

Where do I make mistake. The computer is iMac M1 2021 and the OS is 12.0.1

This sounds like you are panning the canvas. The space bar is the temporary selector for this, the H key the tool shortcut.

When my finger touches to the Magic Mouse, artboard becomes uncontrollable. 

That is because the touch surface on the Magic Mouse is very sensitive to movements, so if your finger slides even a tiny amount when you try to click it will be interpreted as your wanting to scroll in the window.

My advice is to either use something other than that Mouse or be very, very careful not to let your finger slide when you touch the surface of the mouse unless you want to scroll in the window.

Hi @Gulek Kandirali,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
There's no way to turn this off. With a regular scroll-wheel mouse it doesn't pan the canvas (in case you are considering it). In any case i suggest you keep using it a bit more. In the beginning it takes a bit to get used to (I went through the same frustration as you) but it the long run it ends up being helpful and more easy to navigate the document than it looks at first. You may end up liking it more than you think but it it does take some time to adapt to this behaviour.

Personally, I never was able to adapt to this behavior. What I noticed after trying to do that for a while was that keeping my finger raised off the touch sensitive mouse surface for an extended period of time put enough stress on my hand that it was beginning to become painful, so I stopped using a Magic Mouse for anything, not just with the Affinity apps.

I have said it before and I will say it now. Apple has never made a decent mouse. Not ever. They are all [expletive deleted].

The worst ever was the old round 'hockey puck' one back from the System 7 era. Since it was round, you had to be careful how you had it oriented every time you grabbed it -- you could not do that by feel alone -- so if you did not have it aligned with its 'north' end pointing directly away from you, moving the pointer would move it at an unexpected angle.

The later mouse with the little round roller ball button used to control 2 way scrolling was OK until grime got wedged in under the ball. Then it either quit working completely or worked erratically. Apple's "fix" for this was to rub the mouse briskly on your clothing with the ball side down, which was supposed to dislodge the grime & remove it. That worked sometimes; other times not.

Came with the original iMac. So I think after system 7, I do recall running system 8.6 on it and 9 and eventually one of the early cat OS Xs.

Apparently Steve Jobs was actually proud of that useless round piece of [expletive deleted]. It is part of the reason I first bought a Wacom tablet.

He also famously insisted for years that a mouse should have only one button because having more than one would confuse users! That's why originally the OS had to implement a CMD-click as a right-click substitute. These days, CMD-click & right-click are generally implemented as two different actions but that still confuses some longtime Mac users.

I think you mean Control Click not Command Click. I could be wrong. My Mac+ days are long passed so I don't know for certain if the ADB keyboard had a control key on it.

Maybe so. I really don't remember which it was.
