Visual bug while using pens

[vidu3k333]

After drawing using Pencil tool in Designer Persona or Paint Brush Tool in Pixel Persona, the lines doesn't appear immediately until I hover my mouse/pen over it or navigate the canvas. I tried drawing above and under the paper texture and changing the Tablet input methods, both of them doesn't work. What else can I do?

This is a known issue afd-5473 already logged (probably for Mac and iPad, but affecting all OS).

Hi @vidu3k333,

Thanks for your report - as NotMyFault mentions, this issue is already logged with our developers, so I'll be sure to update the report with them now.

In the meantime, moving the Pixel layer from the 'Layer' container should stop this from happening, then you can return the pixel layer to this location once you've finished editing.

I hope this helps!

Hello, has this bug been resolved?

I'm seeing this exact same behaviour when using a pixel layer within a layer within an artboard on Affinity Designer 2.5.7 on Windows 11.

To summarise what I've tested
- Pixel layer within layer - usually works but had to restart affinity once
- Pixel layer within layer within layer - works
- Pixel layer within artboard - works
- Pixel layer within layer within artboard - never works, have to force render by zooming / mouseover

Thanks!

Welcome to the Affinity forums, @ethanc. No, it hasn't been fixed yet. You'll need to use the workaround mentioned above. When it is fixed, this topic (and any others tagged with bug tag AF-489 (which Dan added above) will get a post from the Affinity Info Bot providing details of the fix.
