Unable to create rounded rectangles in Designer

[David Edge]

When I select the Rounded Rectangle tool, Designer draws a rectangle. Hitting the node tool reveals no red dot. The clue is that the help text at the screen bottom also says "Drag to create a new rectangle shape"

If I use a modifier like cmd or option it then starts behaving itself and when I then go back to use the tool unmodified, I get rounded rectangles. Which would be all right, but the rectangle tool now produces rounded rectangles.

New with v2, but which release I'm not sure.

See therefor from the top menu:   Affinity Designer --> About...  the actual version is v.2.3.0

There isn't any for when using the Node Tool, as a rounded rect as default is a specific shape object on it's own.

See ...

• Rounded Rectangle Tool

... make also sure that it's top context toolbar settings (Corner type, Radius) are not altered/changed from the usual default settings there.

It's hard to tell from your above shown image alone, a little screencast of the whole ADe GUI would be better in order to see what you mean here.
