TonyO Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 This has popped up on the forums before, but it's looking like 2.1 is close to release and the bug of clicking the dock icon and the application not restoring onto the screen is still persisting. I usually wouldn't open a duplicate thread, but this is personally one of the most workflow-interrupting bugs i've experienced in a long time, even if anyone else on earth would consider it extremely minor, haha! I'm ADHD (fully diagnosed, prescribed drugs at age 40, not just saying that because i forget stuff like people on TV) and if you know anything about it, you'll know that unexpected results of input actions can cause a 10 car derailment in workflow for people like me. I'll be deep into a multi app process, and I click the Affinity Icon and the app doesn't re-appear on screen, it can sometimes throw me into a loop of endlesss random distractions, seemingly forgetting what i was intending to do in the first place, until i realize i was trying to open the app after multiple minutes of of aimlessly checking emails, playing on facebook, googling, playing Wordle and other distractions. Being a designer is hard enough without forgetting you are one for minutes on end, haha!! Not trying to invite anyone to a pitty party, just want to throw out an alternative perspective on how a bug can affect some users, haha! Thanks a bunch guys, keeping doing what you do!

Jonopen Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just adding my vote for this to be fixed. 🙂 I'm not a beta tester, but also experience this issue with Designer v2.0.4. My workaround is to right-click the icon (in the Dock), then select the open file from there.

nomi02118 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I was hoping it would be fixed as well. It really does make things annoying and slows you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
