Layers panel resizing bug since b2.1 (Mac Des+Pub+Pho)

[woefi]

Maybe it has to do with importing my studio presets from the retail version, but ever since build 1730 I get a UI drawing bug with the layers panel.

I use detached panels on a second monitor in all my affinity apps.

See screenshots and video:

Hi @woefi

Can you try the recipe that we are doing which we confirmed fixed:

1. New doc
2. Add a bunch of layers
3. Group some as we need a child layer
4. Save doc and close app
5. Reopen the doc
6. Observe the layer visibility icons are obscured
7. Adjust panel width
8. Observe icons now appear

If that's fine, can you provide your own recipe? Many thanks

No that doesn't work as it's another issue.

I observe the cut off panel immediately after creating a empty doc or when opening any other file in Publisher or after creating the first rectangle in Designer.

-> If I change the width of the panel to fix it, it stays fixed for other documents until I restart the app.

Was getting this:

Chris B's recipe worked for me - saved and restarted 3 times and all seems fixed👍

@woefiI've just watched the video a number of times and noticed your Layers Panel was slightly wider than default. I've make mine as wide as yours by positioning the left side at about 90mm on the Rulers and extending the the panel so it sits at about 180mm on the Rulers (as seen in your video) and I've added a new layer and hey presto reproduced the issue. So you are indeed seeing the issue I mentioned in the other thread:

• 'The other recipe is when you make the panel width wider. This one does not have a fix version on it yet'

We should hopefully get this fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you, this is now fixed in build 1769!

(it was still a problem in 1742...)
