Initial glitched file preview.

[ChristiduToit]

I've been experiencing some strange display issues with Affinity Photo recently, where initially the files appear glitched after opening them. This preview goes back to normal (the way it should be) once I zoom in and out a bit, but that initial preview usually gives me major anxiety, as if the file became corrupt or glitched somehow. The pinkish red colour is not present anywhere in the illustration, so it's just been a very odd glitch. I haven't noticed this anywhere else, so I presume it's not a display issue and rather just a bug in the app, and it doesn't happen with every file every time (seems to happen at random with various files). I managed to capture a screenshot of this - below.

If zooming in and out solves this issue then this is likely a redraw problem which can typically solved by disabling Metal Compute acceleration as Hens has mentioned. If this doesn't solve this problem does changing the view quality dropdown to fastest under performance in the apps preferences help?

Thanks! I've disabled Metal acceleration (which is obviously a bit of a bummer, but it's alright), switched to OpenGL, and I haven't noticed the bug since.
If it does happen to pop up again I'll be sure to circle back around and post an update in here.
