sio Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Affinity Designer seems to treat the mouse cursor and the pen cursor as being separate. Selecting a tool and using it with the pen seems to sticky the mouse cursor to that tool's icon on the toolbar and makes the mouse unresponsive to everything within the application. I've found two ways to fix this, restart the program or clicking back on the shadowed tool icon with the pen before using the mouse again. Quote
walt.farrell Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Serif staff have said previously that that is a Windows restriction. One can be using the mouse, or a stylus, but not both simultaneously.

AlainP Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 Here it's still working as it always did, I can go from mouse to pen without any problem. I can select the pen tool with the pencil, draw a few lines, use the mouse to draw a few more and then select another tool with either the mouse or the pen. It's probably more a tablet driver issue. I use a Wacom CTH-470 that is many years old. EDIT: I just saw that you were talking about version 1, but I could use both exactly like version 2 in version 1. walt.farrell 1 Quote -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" - Mac mini M2-Pro - 16 gb
