Numerical values in Document setup

[Laganama]

Hi, I have noticed one small but often disturbing problem – when entering a new numerical value for a Document setup, sometimes the first number entered is not taken into account. This problem recurs only in quite specific circumstances. First, it is necessary to mark the number with a double-click, without the unit. Second, the problem appears only at the first change of values. On the second attempt, everything works correctly. It doesn't matter, if you type any number or letter. I only noticed this problem when entering numbers in Document setup. The other input fields in Affinity seem to work correctly.

Hi @Laganama,

I believe this issue (or an incredibly similar one) has been fixed within the 2.1 beta apps, the numerical input value on a few different fields was not being recorded properly, including in the Document setup window. This was OS specific to Monterey/Big Sur.

Could you see if you can replicate this in the 2.1 beta app? I've provided a signup link below.

Many thanks 🙂

Hi @NathanC, it is still there, but this time in reverse order. The first number/letter goes in to the field but the rest is ignored.

2.1.0 (1781)

Thanks @Laganama,

We've also been able to replicate this behaviour on Monterey 12.6.3 in the latest beta build, so I've now logged it as a new bug with the developers.

This problem occurs in virtually all modal windows, such as the New Document Settings window or the Preferences window. Sometimes also within the Transform panel fields. The same scenario: bring up a new window with input fields, double-click in a field and enter a new value.
