Copying boxes by drag and drop (ALT-Key) - boxes dont snap

Hi!

Im using Publisher 1.10.4 and Beta 1.10.0.1115 on Mac.

I want do copy a textbox and place it directly beside the sourcebox.

In a wellknown DTP-app I have to click on the sourcebox, than I drag it by mouse and holding the ALT- and the SHIFT-key directly beside the sourcebox. The destinationbox snaps to the border of the sourcebox - it fits perfect without any space.

In Affinity Publisher Im missing this behaviour. The box is copied like above - but the snap-function is missing.

If I duplicate the box and move it after the duplication-process closley to the source - it snaps to the source as expected before.

 

Please fix - thank you!

Regards, Martin

As reported few times, Affinity doesn't use the classical standard macOS behavior opt-drag to copy a selection but uses cmd-drag instead. Opt-drag is used to override the snapping in purpose, as the bottom line tool tips point out:
