refinement tool don't show border width

[Dirk_Vau]

I'm scratching my head. I think i didn't notice this behavior before:
Using Affinity Photo on my new Mac Studio (Mac OS 12, AP 1.10.5) the refinement tool don't show the border width.  I have to switch the adjustment brush first (which is equal, then back to standard and it works). Also it is not possible to switch the preview mode.

Is it my fault?

i figured it out myself: don't use quickmask. On the other hand why can you use the button for refinement there? It doesn't work!

Hi @Dirk_Vauwelcome to the forums,

As far as I'm aware If you have quick mask enabled it won't show the border width increase/decrease when refining a selection as the area outside of the selection is currently masked. The Quick Mask button is persistent on the toolbar between selecting tools whilst the refine option is only on the context toolbar when a selection tool is active.
