I worked on a project, and suddenly a extra, mystery, layerview is shown at the right bottom. When view the layerpanel. I see an hanging layer above the layers.  I can supply the file per pm.

Hi @pruus,

We've had this reported before and do have it logged with the developers.  There does appear to be a couple of triggers to get this to happen, the main one being dragging a layer from the Layers panel to the canvas and switching to another Studio, as outlined on this thread.

You can clear this by fully closing the app and re-opening it :) 

If you can remember anything about your workflow before this happened, that doesn't fit with the workflow in the linked thread, please do let me know :)

exit,

Does that mean that you "fully closed the app", as @stokerg suggested? That is, when you started the app the next time you got the Splash Screen?

Perhaps it’s an IOS 17 beta 4 problem

It could very well be.  I don't have iPadOS 17 installed as it's still in beta, but the QA Team should have an iPad with it running, so I can see if they can replicate this.

Could you upload your afdesign file to our Dropbox here and I can get it logged with the Developers to take a look at :)

I would like to, but yesterday I have tried to read the file on the Mac, again, and saved it again. Now it’s gone. This must an IOS17-problem. Now it’s gone. My Timemachine copy was set every week. So I don’t have an -error copy- anymore. Glad that it is over. I try some thing tomorrow.
