Tabs not working in studios (Sonoma)

[Baniola]

I had to switch to beta software due to the crashes of Publisher on Sonoma Beta. Now the software doesn't crash but the tabs in the left and right studio stopped working. I'm unable to select panels only workaround is to go to the Window menu and deactivate and activate the tab to get focus on it.

Hi and welcome to the forums. There have been a number of reports of the studio and tab issues with Sonoma. Serif has replied that Affinity is not yet compatible with Sonoma. While you're welcome to test it on Sonoma you'll have to revert to Ventura for production work.

I expect Serif will have this sorted out before Sonoma is publicly released.

You can find other reports of Sonoma issues with this search link.

I want to extend on what MikeTo has already said. 

We are actively logging issues against Sonoma, however, in its current state it is effectively unusable and we do not recommend attempting to use it for production work. Feel free to have a play and let us know what you find, though—thanks

Strane is that Designer and Photo works flawlessly only Publisher have problems. In my case. I signed up for Publisher Beta some bugs (like crashing) are gone and new came (studio panels). I got one strange message from OS "You are using old and depreciated API: null" or similar.

Your update fixed the problem for me. Now Publisher doesn't crash, and tabs are accessible.
