Hi @dschiller

It looks like you've already posted this issue in another thread under the Photo bug section. As it is the same issue, it would be best to keep all responses in the same thread.

Not sure what here is only a Question or a Bug Report. Wanted to create a Bug report. But guess Affinity is not that much interested in those.
