move layer one step forth - not working

mac monterey, designer v2

Moving an object (you wrongly call it a "layer") one step back or forth is working fine when I open a new document with one page. As soon as I convert the page to an Artboard, the move forth one step IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE, instead the selection gets changed to select the artboard. nothing happens with the object (aka "layer").

(I affiliated  command-arrow up and command-arrow down to move back and forth. no shortkey conflict)

 

regards

Thomas

Can you tell us exactly what command you have associated with Cmd+arrow+up and Cmd+arrow+down?

(Perhaps show it in the Shortcuts dialog, if your UI is not in English?)

Here on my Mac I have the Move up/down one layer shortcuts mapped to Command +] and Command +[ . Then there is Command + up Arrow for moving up to the container, in this case the Artboard.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I should have been clearer, I do not see anything like the behaviour in the video. I can move any layer up or down, repeatably. I don't get the popping up to the artboard unless I use the Command + up arrow. I should also point out that these are the defaults from Affinity for my standard American Apple made keyboard using Canadian English for spelling etc.

The actual bug here is this:
Applying a custom cmd-arrow-up doesn't warn that this default shortcut already exists elsewhere:

Which is why the parent artboard gets selected.

Thank you, that is great news!

Well, that is the other problem, one has to go through every single menu setting to check on that. (Other apps (10 years ago already) showed instantly which one has the conflict.)

Of course I checked all menus when I did set my shortkey. And like you say, did not see that other one because it does indeed not have a warning flag. Now its works. Thanks.
