ShaneB Perth Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Morning Subject line says it all really. The tool actually works - it just shows the move tool pointer after an initial use.

Staff Chris B Posted November 14, 2022 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2022 I see what you mean! It's when you get the Inpaiting Brush loading dialog (at least that's true for me). I will feed this back to development - thank you! jdvoracek 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceFerjulian Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Inpainting brush is still not correct in V2 after reporting it misbehaving in V1 October of 2020. Requested a V2 refund. jdvoracek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentCento Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just confirming that I have the same behavior. Tool works great otherwise! jdvoracek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benergizer Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Same, but for every brush for me. Paint brush, clone stamp tool, inpainting, etc... jdvoracek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvoracek Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Same for me as well, every brush, not just inpainting. This is an issue in v1 for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceFerjulian Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Yes, the change to the pointer shape belongs in the canvas which has the actual picture you are changing. I don't want Affinity Photo hijacking the pointer shapes, the program should continue to use the default system mouse pointer when I am using a scroll bar. I did get a refund of the whole V2 suite when I discovered that this behavior remained unchanged in the newer version. jdvoracek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benergizer Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Well, it looks like the current version 2.0.3 seems to have fixed this issue. At least for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceFerjulian Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Thanks ( Benergizer ) for the update. One would assume that if you file a bug report if it's fixed the individual that submitted it would get some sort of notification, guess not.

Staff Chris B Posted January 5, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2023 We generally advise that you keep an eye out for patch notes. At quieter times, we generally do update the thread to say it's fixed - I'm sorry this wasn't the case this time, however since V2's release we have replied to tens of thousands of threads with a relatively small support team.

BruceFerjulian Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) I read though the release notes and if this is indeed fixed it's buried in one of the lines that is pretty generic like ( WE FIXED A LOT OF OTHER STUFF ) and did not call out specifically the bug. I pulled the trigger on another order to see if it's truly fixed but will be super disappointed if I have to reverse another V2.0 purchase. In summary the bug reporting and feedback process definitely needs a lot of work. Edited January 5, 2023 by BruceFerjulian type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceFerjulian Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 NO, no, no... this is still broken after reading the release notes that did not mention it and after ( Benergizer ) falsely claimed it was fixed. Now I have to decide if I want to for a second time request a refund and keep repeating this process until it's either fixed or I have to start again with Affinity Photo V3.0! STEPS ( Watch the mouse pointer. ) a. We are outside of ( Affinity Photo V2.0 ). b. We are now inside of the application and a few pixels below the horizontal scroll bar. c. Move a few pixels higher to be in the horizontal scroll bar and now the pointer shape changes to the in-painting tools brush shape instead of saving that trick until you are actually in the canvas where the image is. Because of this if you are using a large brush you can't tell anymore if your are in the edge of the image canvas or on the horizontal or vertical scroll bar.

Staff MEB Posted January 5, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi @BruceFerjulian, There a misunderstanding going on here. The original issue reported above refers to the Inpainting Brush Tool (and other brush tools) reverting to an arrow cursor after first use (no matter where the cursor was located). This was indeed fixed in v2.0.3.321. The issue you are referring to which is placing a brush tool over the scroll bars specifically (preventing you from seeing the cursor to manipulate the scroll bars) wasn't addressed and as far as i can see (I'm double-checking) is not logged anywhere. I will do so incase I can't find any report. [EDIT]This issue is indeed logged but wasn't fixed/addressed yet. I've updated/bumped the report to bring it up to devs attention again. I'm sorry for the delay and inconvenience this is causing you. Thanks for your patience.

VincentCento Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 My man, this is like the 6th or 7th time you’ve let the forum know that you’ve requested a refund. Let’s just pump the brakes a bit and work with the devs to help sort out issues we might see. I understand frustration when it’s something that’s been ongoing, but repeatedly stating that you’ve requested refunds is tiring and doesn’t help anyone.

deepblue Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 @MEB Thank you for your message and the clarifying words. @Vincent Cento I see it exactly the same way you do. There's no point in asking for a refund for something like this. I think the programmers and the whole Affinity team have enough to do at the moment. It was yes also already written that the small bugs will now be addressed promptly and fixed as soon as possible. I personally think the complete V2 suite is absolutely great.

BruceFerjulian Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 [ October 25, 2020 ] Bug first reported against V1.x [ November 16, 2022 ] Bug repored again in V2.0 Doesn't matter, the terms and conditions state.. If you are not satisfied with your product for any reason, you may return it within a 14 day period after receipt of your product to receive a full refund. Heck, I upgraded one MacOS system and abandoned older programs just to learn that after years my bug still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentCento Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 That’s fine. Just move onto other software then if you’re not willing to help debug and work with developers on software that is a massive value (for a reason and with caveats at times). You don’t need to constantly announce your departure. deepblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceFerjulian Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Not willing to help on my end has not been the problem. As you can see I even committed to update one MAC that I can't roll back and lost some older software just to help. It's a two way street but in my case, a one way street.
