RM f/g Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 When the cursor of the move tool is placed near one of the corners of a selection box, this cursor turns into the rotation cursor (bent double headed arrow). As expected. Then when I click to rotate the selected object, most of the time the cursor changes into the scaling cursor (straight double headed arrow, 45 degrees angled). I see some room for improvement here. This occurs in all three apps.

MikeTO Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hi RM, I think you're a Mac user but I can't duplicate this on Ventura. It even rotates the rotation pointer to match the current rotation angle. Which version of macOS are you having this issue with?

RM f/g Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 This happens also with Affinity version 1 / Monterey, but not with version 1 / Mojave. So it seems related to the OS version.

Staff Dan C Posted February 21, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi @RM f/g, Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here. I can confirm that our team were made aware of a few cursor issues appearing in macOS Monterey and these were resolved in a previous update (2.0.3) - can you please confirm for me, is this issue still occurring for you in the latest update (2.0.4)? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I can't say I've ever experienced any issues with this on Monterey but looking at the tolerance for cursor changes between scale, rotate and move, it is quite fine... the screen recording shows a one pixel grid but it's less of an issue when zoomed out...

Thanks for raising this - I can see the tolerance is rather sensitive, so I'll be logging this as an improvement with our devs now Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM f/g Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Thanks @Dan C for your response. I believe it's somewhat better, though not perfect. The rotation cursor works in a very narrow area, just where the arrow cursor turns into the rotation cursor. A little further towards the corner node and the rotation cursor turns into the scaling cursor when clicking. But maybe I'm expecting too much. I'm on Designer 2.0.4 now. I see no improvement in beta 2.1.0.1709.

Staff Dan C Posted February 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2023 No problem at all, thanks for verifying that for me - as mentioned above I've logged this with our developers for further investigation and consideration, as I agree the 'hitbox' can be rather precise. I hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
