Wrong document placement on the screen for a split second when switching documents (all Affinity apps)

[przemoc]

When you switch between more than one document opened in the same window, there are often issues with displaying them properly. For a split second document is often placed differently than it should, i.e. different than how it was zoomed&panned last time. (It seems to be even more prevalent when rulers are shown, but I'm not sure I can write it definitely.)

It happens in all Affinity programs. Observed on Windows 7 and Windows 11 (not tested on others).

Bug is present in current latest v1 (1.10.6.1665) and v2 (2.0.4.1701). Was present in previous versions too, possibly all of them.

It is extremely irritating. I would love to get it fixed.

I attached videos from all apps showing this problem. There are like 1-2 frames showing wrong position and zoom (centered and shown fully, but it's a bit bigger than zoom to fit) of the document before it is shown properly (i.e. like it was left before switching to other document).

 

Carried over from v1 feedback:

Hey przemoc,

If you go to Preferences > General and toggle the Limit initial zoom to 100% does it make a difference?

No. AFAICT behavior is still the same as I wrote earlier (assuming 60Hz screen):

There are like 1-2 frames showing wrong position and zoom (centered and shown fully, but it's a bit bigger than zoom to fit) of the document before it is shown properly (i.e. like it was left before switching to other document).

I hope the behavior is clearly visible on videos that I uploaded before. I used various document zoom levels among apps to make it more prominent.

I watched your videos, and can't see what your describing. They just show 2 similar documents, one with a rectangle in the lower-right, the other in the upper-left. What you describe appears to be what Chris B thinks to be the Zoom issue.

Hopefully additional picture explanation will help if my words are not understood properly.
