Select same fill doesn't

[Bit Disappointed]

macOS Sonoma 14.0 and Designer 2.2.0 + 2.2.1 release candidate 3

Now, I am tired and struggling with a fever so my concentration could be weak, but this is not working as it should, right? All these elements have a white fill colour, same value.

Select the door only. Select -> Select same fill color. Only these objects are selected:

Select one window from the third row from below.  Select -> Select same fill color. Only these objects are selected:

I see only this fill color value whatever object I inspect, so what the duck?

Hi @Bitarts,

This has come up before with a separate user file in the thread below and is possibly caused by a rounding error occurring in the background which isn't visible in the UI. If you manually select the objects, change the colour panel to RGB Hex and then press enter in the RGB hex field it should fix this, as after doing this Select same > fill is working as expected.

I'll add your file as another example and bump the existing issue with your report.

Part of the problem is that you have two rectangles in the same location overlapping. (hint; bottom row of windows)

Thanks for the tip and for the reply @NathanC

It's a bit of a weird rounding error, as it's an incredibly primitive sketch I've made in just a few minutes using ordinary, mundane work processes, so the risk of the error occurring must be high.

Select same... is also a method I don't like to use for much of my work. Serif can solve so many problems for the meticulous or professional customer by implementing true graphic styles that would put Designer in a whole new league.

Have a great weekend

Some of your white fills are HSL (0, 0, 100) while others are RGB (255, 255, 255), and Affinity alway considers fills defined with different colour models to not match.

Your screenshot of Colour panel shows the padlock enabled to the left of HSL. That will cause a conversion from any non-HSL colour definition to HSL to be displayed in the panel. The padlock must be disabled for the true definition of a colour to be shown when an object is subsequently selected.

Ah, I may have switched to my favourite HSL along the way.

Well, Serif, if there is no way around the colour space technicalities, it would be really helpful to turn up the usability and notify the customer that different colour spaces are in play in the document that may affect the outcome of 'Select Same'. There's real potential for what I experienced to happen again and again with customers.
