Move tool fails to select visually distinct strokes that use pressure curves

[vczf]

The selection logic takes only the stated width of the stroke into account, not the visual width when altered by the pressure curve. This means that if you draw strokes with significant pressure sensitivity (e.g. for dynamic linework with pencil or vector brush tool) you will not be able to select visually distinct strokes by clicking on them. You instead have to use the alt-key to select behind, or use the layer panel.

Tested on Windows as well as iPad. Likely universal across platforms and Affinity products.

Hi Vczf,

Welcome to the forums

I have logged this with our developers to be investigated further.

Thanks

I can confirm that this is still an issue on Macs as well. Vcnf's description of the issue is spot-on.

I primarily illustrate using vector brushes with pressure sensitive strokes and this problem is significant when I try to refine and tweak lines.
