Staff DWright Posted February 4, 2022 Staff Share Posted February 4, 2022 Is it possible for you to post a screen recording of this issue so I can try to replicate it as I have not seen this happen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLawrence Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 At the end of this Gif, it happens for only a split second. (Where it selects the bottom layer "Letter E Montage") Usually this incorrect selection stays highlighted, but it is unpredictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is a great example of why I hate animated GIFs. I have no idea what is going on here. Layers are flashing...

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layers are flashing... Ok, since it repeated I was wondering if people were going to understand it. Here is the recording. When I click on the Fra Luca layer, it switches to the "Letter E Montage" Layer at about the :12 or :13 mark. https://recordit.co/THylpI5LxG Lol about the flashing. (I'm switching between layers and trying to rename. I work rapidly. Thank you League of Legends.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted March 29, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 29, 2022 Sorry for the delay in getting back to you This is strange I have not been able to replicate this in my version of Designer Can you please let me know the mouse setting that you are using as I am wondering if this may be a polling lag and Windows is still thinking that the mouse cursor is in a different location when the mouse button is clicked.

DaveLawrence Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Hi, using mac. I use a G600 mouse. Thought it might be the mouse based on your polling comment. So I switched back to regular magic mac mouse. Still happens. Very frustrating because I'm naming hundreds of things. I made this file. Try renaming Artboard 1 to "Testing Number 1-1a", "Testing Number 1-2b", etc for the entire file as fast as you possibly can. You have to do a lot, because you'll think it's working at first, but after the 9th one or so, it just goes nuts and starts highlighting other layers. Also start closing up the layer, and then stuff happens like opacity turns to 40% if I'm typing a number. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are able to replicate.
