Wildwood Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Pretty much picture, if you drag a color from a swatch into a gradient, Affinity Designer does crash, every time.

Aaron Crawford Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I can confirm this is an issues on Designer v2.2.0 on Windows. I don't recall this being an issues on previous versions going back to v1.8.5. I can recreate this issue consistently on my computer with the same behavior...dragging a swatch onto the node on the gradient as pictured by the OP. Freezes Designer then crashes. I am able to work around it by selecting the node first then just clicking the desired color in the palette, but that is not as intuitive. My co-worker is able to reproduce this as well on his Windows machine as well. I just tested on my Intel 2018 Macbook Pro running Big Sur 11.4 and I can confirm it is an issues on Mac as well. I had no issues on the previous version 2.1.x, then I ran the updater and tried again and it crashed. I haven't had a chance to verify this on my Apple Silicon Mac yet.
Aaron Crawford Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Since this is a problem on Mac, I've also created a cross linked post in the Mac Bug Reports forum:
Aaron Crawford Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I've confirmed that this is also an issue on Designer on Apple Silicon (2021 MacBook Pro with M1 Pro CPU). Again v2.2 of Designer. The problem seems to be platform agnostic.
