Affinity Desugner 2.1.0.1742 crashes

[Blind Pilot]

When i use the cloud tool and make 3 or four clouds then use the knife tool and cut them in half and move one section then use the vector flood tool to fill it Designer crashes

Hi Blind Pilot,

Do the objects you're trying to use the Vector Flood Tool on filled or contain no fill? There is a known crash that occurs when you attempt to use the Vector Flood Fill with multiple objects selected on a non overlapping shape with no fill.

Are you able to get a video showing the process you're doing that leads to the crash please?
Thanks!

If i draw a circle or any object with no fill then take the knife tool and cut it in half, then use the move tool and move the top half, then use the vector flood tool to fill the object, Designer crashes.

@Sean P, It appears to be the same no-fill crash. I tried replicating this earlier, however the vector shapes I used were already filled. Following Blind Pilot's latest recipe, where the vector objects were not filled, Designer crashes.

I cannot get this recipe to crash here with Mac OS 11.7. However I do see that when I Cut with the Knife tool and move one of the No Fill bits then use the Flood Fill tool I wind up with two Curves, one Filled and an empty copy. I get no empty copy if I use the Flood Fill tool on a cut already filled object.

Hello,

... the same bug 😕

(Windows 10  /  Affinity Designer 2.1.0.1742 beta)

[Blind Pilot]

Using Windows 11 same thing happens but when Designer crashes it shuts down , and returns me to my desktop.

I repeated those same steps again and again and never got a crash.

New to video recorder

1 draw circle

2 use knife to cut

3 move cut

4 use vector flood

5 fill 1/2 circle and say just happened?

[Blind Pilot]

Found the fix, reinstalled software,  now working .

 Hello,

I repeat this : Affinity Designer shuts down and returns me to desktop !

[Ron P.]

I still get Designer crashing. Discovered that one of the segments must be moved before filling to trigger the crash. If you fill it first, then move, it does not crash.

I still can't get it to crash carefully repeating the above steps.

[Sean P]

Thanks all! We do have this logged and it should be fixed in the next release.
