When Renaming Layers Two Large Problems

[DaveLawrence]

I'm a new user. I wanted to thank the staff for their warm welcome, and attention to the bugs I posted. Thank you!

----------------------

Mac OS 11.6.2 Big Sur, Affinity Designer 1.10.4

Here is the problem I am having.

Problem #1: When I click sometimes the entire line gets selected (similar to CMD+A), AFTER I have clicked a second time, to remove the selection.

Problem #2: Sometimes without me pushing enter, the renaming process gets closed. (Similar to pushing enter)

Notice with the key caster that I never push CMD+A, and I push enter only rarely.

Here is the video, where I will break down one instance of the problem: (So if you open it in another tab, you can follow the time-codes.)

TIP: This video has no slow down button, but if you make the window big, you can hold down and move the playhead slowly. It scrubs pretty well.

Example Problem #1:
:30 I double click on layer to rename
:30 layer name gets highlighted as expected
:31 click on the right side of the naming bar
:31 layer name gets deselected
:31 move mouse out of the way to see I'm not clicking on layer
:32 the layer name gets highlighted by Affinity Designer (Notice that I did not click or push enter or CMD+A)

Example Problem #2:
:27 I go into the "Rosart and Fleisch K" layer to rename
:27 Click on the right side of the words to deselect
:28 Move my mouse up, so that you can see that I can't click on anything
:28 Push spacebar.
:28 Affinity designer closes "rename layer",  without me clicking on anything or pressing "enter"

These problems are very frequent. Sometimes it doesn't happen, other times it will happen every time I try to rename.

If you guys have a support ticket system, I will submit this file into that.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi @DaveLawrence,
