Robert Hansford Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hey guys, I hope all is well. Just reporting on a few little inconsistencies that I've noticed. 1. When working in in Affinity Designer 2 on Mac OS desktop, when selecting force pressure there is no toggle lock or activation highlight on the button it doesn't affect functionality, but it's a bit weird. When I tap the button it works, but as it doesn't have a highlight it gets me confused and wondering if I've toggled it on/off or vice versa. This is not the case in Affinity Photo. When I tap it in Affinity Photo it stays highlighted giving a clear indication that it is either active or disabled. 2. Again, in Affinity Designer 2 Mac OS desktop, I want to tap Caps Lock to change the circular brush cursor to a crosshairs only. This is possible in Affinity Photo and works fine, but it doesn't work in Affinity Designer 2's pixel persona. I ran a search, and I haven't seen them discussed here on the bug reporting forum. As both of these functionalities seem pretty basic and work across the other apps in the suite, it seems like these may have accidentally been omitted or are bugs of some kind so I'm reporting them. Take care! Screen-2023-05-15-103236.mp4 Quote 2020 M1 Mac Mini, 16GB, Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 iPad Pro 12.9, Gen 4, iPad OS 16.3.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Hansford Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 I think it has something to do with Light interface mode! See attached video.

Staff Dan C Posted May 15, 2023 Staff Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hi @Robert Hansford, Thanks for your report! 10 hours ago, Robert Hansford said: When working in in Affinity Designer 2 on Mac OS desktop, when selecting force pressure there is no toggle lock or activation highlight on the button I can confirm I have been able to replicate this and it does appear to affect the Light UI mode only. 10 hours ago, Robert Hansford said: in Affinity Designer 2 Mac OS desktop, I want to tap Caps Lock to change the circular brush cursor to a crosshairs only. This is possible in Affinity Photo and works fine, but it doesn't work in Affinity Designer 2's pixel persona Equally, I have been able to replicate this here - I would expect this shortcut to function in Affinity Designer, as the Paint Brush Tool is essentially the same from Affinity Photo. I'll be sure to log this both with our development team now, to be resolved in a future update. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Feestenpateen Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This bug seems to still exist in light mode. In dark mode it works as expected. Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
