Designer crashes on certain selection

[ezrgmlaaz8585]

Affinity crashes when selecting multiple objects, one being a text frame.

Steps to reproduce (works reliably) :

1. Select a text frame "entirely" (not editing it)
2. Click near it, changing the tool for the text frame tool. (Why does Designer have a range this big to select text ??)
3. Click again (doing a double click essentially).

The program will freeze (as I have seen, it can recover on small files if changing the focus window to anything else). It must be closed using task manager, simply closing the app brings the close menu, but it cannot be interacted, all unsaved progress will be lost.

This is not an edge case bug, I produce it regularly when selecting multiple text by not clicking precisely inside the text frame.

I am using the latest Affinity Designer 2 version (2.1.1.1847) on Windows 11.

Works both with hardware acceleration on and off.

Hi ezrgmlaaz8585,

I'm not able to replicate this behaouir here at all I'm afraid and as far as I'm aware this isn't something that has been reported in the past if you reinstall the app does this issue persist?

Thanks

Hello, this is a fresh install, I made a file that works (for me) 100% of the time: replicate.afdesign

Here is a video of it again.

I had this bug on other computers but just in case here are my specs:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
- RAM: 16GB
- GPU: RTX 4070

Thanks a lot.

@Callum Affinity newest release, 2.2.0, seems to have resolved the issue (at least for me).
