Select > Invert Pixel Selection bug with artboards

[etx]

MacOS Ventura 13.2 on a Mac Pro

Hardware Accel is enable

A friend of mine is having the same issue on a MacBook Pro M1 with Monterey

Example video attached

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a New Document
2. Draw one Artboard out 
3. Clone the first Artboard to make a second one
4. Switch to the Pixel Persona
5. Use any Marquee selection tool to draw a selection on the first artboard
6. Now from the menu select Selection > Invert Pixel Selection
7. The marquee selection should be properly inverted
8. Marquee select on the second (cloned) artboard
9. Select Selection > Invert Pixel Selection
10. The marquee selection is not correctly inverted and the entire first artboard becomes selected and shows the marching ants

I can confirm this is happening in both V1 and V2 of Designer regardless of whether the first Artboard is cloned or created from scratch using the Artboard tool and if you have more than two artboards, regardless of which Artboard you draw the marquee selection on, inverting it always results in an inverted selection on the last Artboard.

Probably this known bug, a holdover from V1: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AFD-5459

Hi @etx,

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm I have replicated this issue here and have logged it with our developers - I hope this helps

Just here to report that this is still an issue. When working with multiple artboards, it is SUPER inconvenient and will often crash the app trying to select the pixels for the ENTIRE document, not just the artboard you're working in. I have to remember just to never select inverse when working with multiple artboards.

This is still an issue. The only thing that really bothers me since starting using the software, I often work with documents set-up for social media and when I need to inverse a selection I have to open the image in a new document do my selection and masking there and then transfer it back to my original document, would love to be able to do it without this. I have the same issue in both designer, and photo.

Welcome to the Affinity Forums @M. Engvall!

Thanks for letting us know & we're sorry to hear this issue is still present.

I've 'bumped' the development report with your post to bring this to our teams attention once again.

I hope this helps

2.5.3 Windows 11. Problem is still there. Please fix it. Annoying bug. 

And looks like similar problem on iPad.
