debraspicher Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Jumpy Transform Origin makes its triumphant return when using Set Selection Box. For the bug, start at around 1:20. For it to happen, there has to be a non-0 rotation on the Base Box: 24.01.10_06-29-41-PM_NV12_3840x2160.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnyb Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Two more issues with this feature, @Jon P: Grouping a set of simple lines creates a bounding much larger than necessary Cycling to the new Selection Box setting (compact) and then Setting it does NOT work.

Staff Pauls Posted January 12 Staff Share Posted January 12 I'm not seeing the big bounding box any chance of a sample file (saved with history) ? If you havent rotated the object then I think we dont create a 'selection box' that is logged in a report though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, when Grouped, the group uses the Base box for the individual lines rather than the Regular bounds which is why you're seeing the oversized bounding box for the Group which suggests that when the 'graphic' was created it included rotated lines that initially formed part of a group (or similar)...

Can you clarify exactly how the 'graphic' was initially created... Ahh that makes sense, as I initially created a vertical line and then rotated it into position, scaled, flipped etc to build the final M, so the grouping behavior makes sense. However, I don't see what you are seeing as far as your preview when ungrouped. All 5 lines are Curve objects (ungrouped) and I get this: Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 If you expand all the lines you will be able to toggle the Regular bounds with the Base box for all lines rather than toggling the Regular bounds with the Line… When all lines are then selected their collective Base box Bounding boxes exactly match the Base box of the Grouped lines which is what the screenshot in the previous post shows… Why it works that way I’m not really sure… ronnyb 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 Affinity Designer Beta 2.5.0 (2415) | Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.0 (2415) | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.5.0 (2415) Affinity Designer 1.7.3 | Affinity Photo 1.7.3 | Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 MacBook Pro 16GB, macOS Monterey 12.7.4, Magic Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awakenedbyowls Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Thanks - more useful than the page explaining new updates - just spend a few minutes looking all over the app on my iPad to find where these options are located as it doesn’t explain this very well on the web page (for people like me who are not fully learned of the apps functions) I’m also using the CMD+. To “cycle” and instead it just takes me back from regular bounds I’ve placed on an object which I placed at an angle from the menu back to the base box - rather than cycling back and forward it’s just taking me back to the base box and leaving me there - if you get what I mean?

Staff MEB Posted February 29 Staff Share Posted February 29 Hi @awakenedbyowls, You're probably doing it without moving the mouse. I've noticed it does fail to switch if there's no mouse movement. If you move the cursor a bit before switching does it work for you? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move the cursor a bit before switching does it work for you? Hi @MEB, There does appear to be a potential issue here in as much as it appears that if you double-click too slowly the tool switch doesn't happen, despite the double-click still being in the bounds of what I'd consider a double-click. This is also affected by the double-click speed set for the Pointer Preferences. I can quite happily double-click to switch between the Move and Node tools without moving the mouse but if my double-click is too slow it fails completely regardless of whether I move the mouse before double-clicking or not... It's quite difficult to show in a screen recording but any time you see what appears to be either a single mouse or no mouse clicks at all when the cursor appears stationary I'm actually double-clicking. The issue is perhaps most noticeable from 1 min 36 seconds to the end where the Node tool is selected and I'm moving it around and double-clicking but the screen recording isn't picking up any mouse clicks at all and the action isn't switching between the Node and Move tools...

Staff MEB Posted February 29 Staff Share Posted February 29 Hi @Hangman, Thanks for taking a look. Yes, there's an issue here. I've noticed the problem yesterday night while I was testing another issue but haven't made a report yet. awakenedbyowls report brought it to my attention again. I didn't check what's going on with the iPad version, not sure it's the same issue. Will have to take a look at it as soon as I can.
