Affinity Photo : is Show Others menu buggy?


Recommended Posts

I am afraid there is an issue in the command Show Others in the Layer menu. Please open the enclosed TIFF picture; it is made of 5 pixel layers, each with a single horizontal color band. Select the middle layer (blue), open the Layer Menu and choose Hide Others. Only the blue band is left. Now, reopen the menu and choose Show Others. The whole picture should be displayed again but it does not always.

I made two trials with Windows machines (including laptop of mine under Windows 11) and it does not (the two bottom layers are missing). Under MacOS, I met the same surprise with my personal computer (Mac Pro, BigSur OS) but another attempt with a Mac Mini under Monterey OS was correct.

I can confirm this. However I'm thinking it has to do with screen re-draw. After doing the Show-Others, zooming out or in, even just a little, the rest appear.

Hi @ch22,

As Ron mentioned, this is a re-draw issue affecting the layers below in the stack, zooming in/out will correctly draw the objects in again. This is something that has been previously logged with the developers, i've now bumped it with your report. 🙂

I was about to report this again. But I see it's already known. Still an issue in 2.2.0.1931, by the way.

The latest update 2.3 did not resolve this issue.
Any progress on resolving the redraw bug?
I would like to point out that this is a very simple but useful function.

This issue is still outstanding internally, i've updated the issue to reflect that it's still an issue in 2.3 and bumped it with your report. 

If there are any further updates on the issue the Serif info bot will reply to the thread automatically.
