Designer 2 crashes every time I bring two points together warp group quad

[alidesigns]

Try to apply warp group quad on a bunch of rectangles, then try to bring the two points at the top together. Make sure snapping is on so the points end up in the same exact position. Crashes every time. Also verified this is happening on Windows as well, via a commenter in this reddit post.

1. What Application are you using? Designer
2. Are you using the latest release version? 2.1.1
3. Can you reproduce it? Yes
4. Does it happen for a new document? Yes
5. If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following:

•    What is your operating system and version: macOS 13.4.1
•    Is hardware acceleration (in Preferences > Performance) ON or OFF ? (It's on and I have tried it off as well, still crashes)

Great suggestion @Red Sands here is a test file:

Hi @alidesigns,

I can confirm this also crashes the 2.2.0 (1903) Beta... crash report attached.

I can confirm too. Same behavior on Windows. Both on Retail and Beta.

Hi @alidesigns
We believe this issue has been resolved as we can no longer reproduce it. Could you please retest this in the latest release 2.2.0.2005 and let us know if you can still reproduce it?

Hi @EmT,

I've just re-tested the file in 2.2.0.2005 and it still crashes I'm afraid, though the crash is very slightly delayed...

Thanks @Hangman and @Return, we have since found that 'Align to nodes of selected curves' must be enabled on the context toolbar, whilst editing the warp group to trigger this.

Hi @EmT,

I've just retested with node snapping disabled on the context toolbar and I still see the crash... so for me it's crashing with node snapping both enabled and disabled...

Still happening in 2.5.4.

Hi @alidesigns,

Unfortunately, this is still showing as 'awaiting a fix'... This thread will be updated by the 'Affinity Info Bot' once a fix has been made.

[George-Frazee]

This is still happening as of 2.5.5. Any plans to fix this one in the pipe?

Crash report attached.

Hi George,

This is something we are still looking into I'm afraid. Thank you for providing the crash report I'll add it to the internal report we have for this issue and will update this thread once I have more info.

Apologies for any inconvenience this issue is causing in the meantime.

Thanks

@Callum This also is happening to me, i literally can't get work done, snapping nodes and it crashes, this is version 2.5.5. Although this is a very interesting thing that I observed, I'm not an expert on GPUs but, from home my system is fairly powerful, CPU - 5800x GPU - 6700xt, i use affinity for map tracing and when i connect nodes that when it crashes, now my work system is CPU - 5600 GPU - 1660 ti and to my surprise nothing is crashing on my work system. Correct me if I'm wrong but is the crash somehow connected to the GPU I'm using?
