tropilio Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Hi, I am having issues with the lasso node selection in Affinity Designer (actually in the Designer Persona of Affinity Publisher, but I guess it's the same thing... right?). The tool is just not selecting anything, as you can see from the video. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks Publisher_JhOxghMITi.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 There is some serious weirdness going on here. Why and how did you get such a huge offset for the node tool dragging a selection area? The selection area should follow the Node tool pointer, not be offset like your video shows. You could try the advice from Roy in The IT Crowd? "Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are 3 red nodes in the selection, indicating that there are (at least) 3 different curve objects but in the Layers panel only a single Curve layer shows as selected, so there must be more curves selected at first.

One object is selected. The 'Curve' is one Curves object containing three paths, hence the three red end nodes. Italian for curve is curva. Italian for curves is curve.

Staff NathanC Posted March 3 Staff Share Posted March 3 Hi @tropilio, Is this an issue you're able to replicate in the Designer Persona with any curve? This is working as expected for me when using the node tool lasso selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, this behaviour is a little worrying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedivclass Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I have also experienced the lasso selection not working on certain objects, even after a restart. The objects in question are from a duplicated artboard. AD v2.1.0.1730 • macOS 12.1 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 20 Staff Share Posted March 20 I've reproduced and logged the issue with development - thanks.
