Aaron Crawford Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 This is a problem already reported on the windows side, but I have confirmed it is also an issue on Mac in v2.2 in Designer. The linked post also claims this is an issue in Photo also. Here is my post on the Windows forum: 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. Shinobi Bob 1 Quote
Aaron Crawford Posted October 17, 2023 Author Posted October 17, 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. Quote
Staff stokerg Posted October 17, 2023 Staff Posted October 17, 2023 Hi @Aaron Crawford, Thanks for reporting this. As you've seen from the other thread, it's something we are already aware of and affects both Mac and Windows. I've updated the report with a link back to this thread so we can update you when it's been resolved Quote
Aaron Crawford Posted October 17, 2023 Author Posted October 17, 2023 Much appreciated. Yes, I saw in the other thread where it was reported previously, but from my experience and the other user's experience it seems to only affect 2.2.0 for us. My previous versions including 2.1.x didn't have the issues. So I wanted to make that distinction in case the issues is similar but different. As noted across the threads, I was able to recreate this issues on multiple 2.2.0 installs of Affinity Designer on 4 separate systems (2 windows, 2 Mac) with different hardware and 3 different license keys (if that would even make a difference). So definitely doesn't seem to be a specific hardware configuration. Thanks and please let me know if you would require additional info from my tests. Quote
Shinobi Bob Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 This has happened to me as well. Designer crashed several times before I figured out it was a bug. I had to resort to using Gerber Omega Composer for the project, unfortunately. Quote
