Hangman Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hi @Danissryd and welcome to the forums, This isn't a bug but expected behaviour for snapping candidates... If you uncheck 'Show snapping candidates' in the 'Snapping' Panel this will remove the purple lines which are the actual Snapping Candidates. You can read more about snapping candidates in the Help file here... https://affinity.help/designer2/English.lproj/index.html Danissryd 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.4.2 | Affinity Photo 2.4.2 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.2 Affinity Designer Beta 2.5.0 (2463) | Affinity Photo Beta 2.5.0 (2463) | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.5.0 (2463) MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, Magic Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for information - you probably copied the link to Help from the address bar of the browser (a classic mistake :-), so it points to the index, not to a specific page about Snapping. You need to use "Copy link..." at the bottom left.

If you use the Search feature in the online Help, you can open the linked page for your chosen search result in a new tab. The URL will appear in the browser’s address bar, so you can copy it from there.

I don’t have a Mac, but if I open the Designer 2 Help in Firefox on iPad and search for Layer states I see this: Long-pressing on any of the results invokes a context menu where I can choose ‘Open in New Tab’, as I suggested earlier, or (much simpler!) ‘Copy Link’.

You'll have options for opening in a new tab, or (what I usually use) Copy Link. I think I figured out my issue... I have a bookmarked link to what I've always assumed is the Help File... https://affinity.help/ That shows me this page... Clicking on e.g., V2 PC/Mac takes me to this page... Note the lack of a 'Copy Link' icon option at the bottom of the page (on Firefox on macOS) though stupidly I'd not considered right-clicking a topic to take me to the actual URL... If I go to the in-app help for Publisher and search for say 'Layer States', it doesn't find any listing (though I believe this is a known issue)... Note the lack of the sidebar when search results are displayed... If I click on the only result shown in the search results for Publisher, i.e. Settings (or Preferences) I now see the sidebar in the online Help... but I still have to manually try and locate Layer States from the online Help file... When I do manage to locate it which I do under 'Object Control' I can then right-click, select Copy Link and paste the link into a browser where I then see the copy link icon at the bottom of the page and I can quite happily search for Layer States and the search will find it. So it looks as though the original page I'd book marked is of little use as it doesn't appear to work...

So it can be seen - that providing the right link to a specific Help page is not exactly an easy matter. It would certainly be advisable to do it a little simpler - hopefully we will see a change 🙂 Hangman 1 Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.

It "works" just like it's supposed to, I think. It allows you to choose the application and version of the Help that you want to see.

It's just how you get to the root of the HTML for the Help you want.

Note the lack of a 'Copy Link' icon option at the bottom of the page (on Firefox on macOS) It is there for me in Firefox V121.0 (64 bit) on my Mac running Catalina. I just updated FF to the V123.0 (64 bit) version, which I presume is the most current one, & it still shows the copy link icon at the bottom with the other three icons. So I have no idea why it is any different for you, other than maybe it is because you are running a different macOS version....
