80sTherapy Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I'm not exactly sure when this started, but pasting is giving me issues. 1. Designer no longer to be pasting elements in place, but around the center. I looked in settings and tried googling the issue, but there doesn't seem to be a setting to change that behavior, so I'm not sure what's going on there. 2. Also, pasting shapes nested in a group results in the original shape being turned into curve + image inside separate groups nested in a layer. Is this normal? I never noticed this behavior before. I'm attaching an example of what pasting a simple rounded rectangle (nested in a group) results in. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loukash Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I haven't observed anything like this. Can you please upload a screencast video of what exactly you're doing?

loukash Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 What kind of a layer effect have you applied?

loukash Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Also, do you have any 3rd party clipboard app active in the background?

I had an outer glow effect applied which once removed fixed both issues. That said, I don't remember layer effects affecting pasting before. Has it always been the case?

loukash Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 As long as the clipboard content stays within the same Affinity version, all data should remain native. Pasting such an object from v2 to v1 will rasterize it, however. And as noted, 3rd party clipboard managers/enhancers can cause it.

Closing it fixed both issues even without removing the layer effect. Thanks! loukash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
