AD 2.1 selected multiple objects – only last is moved

[abra100pro]

please see movie: I want to move both selected but only the last clicked is moved.

I fear that this is a feature, not a bug – looking forward to know more about this. file is attached, too.

This issue occurs when you try to drag from outside of the bounding box of the selected objects. You're dragging from the outer part of a centred stroke - if you dragged from inside the stroke, or even from an outer part that is inside the bounding box of the two ellipses, then you'd drag both objects.

It's rarely an issue because strokes aren't often this thick so users generally drag from within the hot zone, but with a very thick stroke like this the issue becomes apparent.

I agree with you - I think if you can see it you should be able to grab it, but Affinity isn't alone in acting like this. It's worse in Adobe apps, at least in Photoshop which is the one I have available to test. With Photoshop it would just deselect both ellipses. In fact, it would deselect both ellipses even if you dragged from the outer part of a stroke inside the bounding box.
