Tormy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Windows 11 Affinity Photo 2.0.4 Flood Selection Tool (W): Selecting an area then holding down CTRL to select another area, it doesn't add the second to the first. It removes the first creating the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Status bar states to use the Right Mouse Button to add. However in reality, it's use both mouse buttons to add. You're right, pressing the Control key, allows you to select another area, based on New. Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Staff Chris B Posted February 1, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2023 macOS is working as expected - control + click adds a new area to the existing selection. Windows states RightMouse to Add. I'll get this logged. Thank you. Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted February 1, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2023 Ah holding RightMouse and clicking adds a new selection. Both operating systems should be the same.

True. I think I was referring more to the fact I completely got tripped up by the Windows method of 'holding the RightMouse' whilst clicking. I cannot think of another area where we do this.

Staff Chris B Posted February 1, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2023 I think it should be Ctrl+Alt as some other selection tools have this for 'Add' walt.farrell 1 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 10 minutes ago, Chris B said: I think it should be Ctrl+Alt as some other selection tools have this for 'Add' Yes, that was a nice change when it was made for the other tools. One problem with requiring both mouse buttons at the same time is that it's just not possible on many trackpads.
