It works as long as none of sliders is all the way to the right. This sounds like a bug. A single 255 will prevent shift dragging the sliders together.

I just tested Publisher V2, same problem. 255 breaks it.

I also tested this in Photo V1 and it's apparently always been broken. I just learned about this shortcut (from an Affinity tutorial) and had only tried it in V2, but it's always been broken. :/

I think this is by design and working correctly

The help says...

"dragging a Colour panel slider will move all of the sliders at once. This can be useful when you have a colour you like and you want to use a lighter or darker shade of it."

If you have pure Red (255) then to get a lighter or darker shade of it you just move the other 2 sliders (Likewise for pure Green or pure Blue)

Also, notice that if you have a colour value like, 240,128,128 moving all sliders (with shift key) is not linear across all the RGB sliders. The red slider moves far less than the other two, in order to maintain the same colour but just a lighter or darker shade of it.

 

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

I did notice that. I also noticed if you have 255,255,255 holding shift doesn't give the expected result of moving them all in unison to gray which seems obvious. This is evidenced when moving from 0,0,0 and the sliders all move together towards white (in RBG mode). If it's by design, then by your reasoning they should not all move together when any value has a 0 in it.
