Selecting things next to text

[uli123]

Hi,

if I want to select the red circle it always selects the text box, although the circle is outside the text box. That's because Affinity uses the whole paragraph size (blue area) for selecting and not the text box itself.

This must be change.

Hi, this is a known issue in v2 and it's on Serif's list.

Cheers
