Experiencing lag when in "Stage Manager"

[Tobias Bassiri]

I have noticed that when the Stage Manager feature is active, Affinity Designer V2 will lag considerably when switching between windows. Affinity designer V1 does not share this lag, nor does any other application. Please view the below attached video for further understanding of the issue. 

 

I hope this will be of help to isolate the issue, thank you for your time.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

I'm not sure this is relevant to your issue, but I thought it worth pointing out:

Yes, I have noticed this too. If I have a photo loaded up in Affinity Photo 2, it is very laggy when using Stage Manager. 

I hope this gets fixed soon as Stage Manager is very useful, and I suspect it would affect a lot of people's work flows if we had to turn this off!

I think this issue is related to the new way of separating windows from the main window, thus it's not happening in affinity 1, Adobe apps shares this issue too

for now you can use a separate Desktop space for affinity or turn off stage manager
