Affinity Publisher 2 Image sizing/scaling

[Andrew1982]

Affinity Publisher 2

The image sizing menu bar at the top left will no longer permit accurate resizing of an image.

e.g. I import an image and try to adjust the size using the tool bar, if I enter 75% into the scale field, it will resize the image to 50% 

If I try to do it again the image will resize to 100%. This field does not work properly.

The only way I can resize an image in V2 is to do it manually by clicking and dragging the image edges

This is a known bug (AF-388). When you manually change the value in a percentage field, the result will be completely unexpected.

For now, the solution is to use the slider to change the % value, as then this bug will not occur.
