Rectangle stroke cannot be edited

[NM_]

I started a simple design in Affinity Designer 2.0.0 (only and latest version) on Windows 11 Pro (latest updates, version 22H2) that does not allow the border of the item named “Main Panel” to be edited.

I was forced to export the file to SVG to open it in Affinity Designer 1 to continue.

The program hung for a bit while editing, and on relaunch asked for permission to submit crash reports that I approved.

The problem file is attached.

Thank you for your attention.

I was able to do all kinds of things to the stroke on my Mac.

How are you changing the “border” of that layer?

I can change the outline of the layer named “Main Panel” just fine in Windows 10, although I notice that the Opacity of that layer is set to 10% so that could be causing a problem if you are choosing a very light colour.

Thanks for the prompt response!  I apologize for not being specific enough:

Can you change the color of the outermost rectangle to solid black?

I could change the stroke and color of all other shapes without problems, just not that of the outermost rectangle.

As @GarryP mentioned, the opacity is set to 10%, so I believe it is black, just lighter than you expect.

Hmm, I see it as 100% and cannot change it at all. If I convert to SVG and open in Designer 1, it is 10% of course. Are you on macOS, iPadOS or Windows?

P.S. Image attached. I made the stroke thicker to demonstrate. Thanks again!

Ah silly me, the artboard opacity was 10% - thanks again!

I meant layer opacity 🤪
