MikeTO Posted May 22, 2024 Posted May 22, 2024 I'm not able to duplicate this. Is the text really gone or is just a rendering issue? If you zoom in does anything change? Can you arrow through text that is invisible?

Staff Jon P Posted May 22, 2024 Staff Posted May 22, 2024 I can reproduce this, it looks like a redraw issue but it isn't, zooming out doesn't fix it. Moving the text frame however seems to recompose the text and then it's fine If you undo/redo after changing DPI that might help reproduce it @MikeTO I'll get it logged Quote Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com
Hangman Posted May 22, 2024 Author Posted May 22, 2024 Hi @Jon P, Thanks for testing and logging… I’ll run some additional tests to see how or whether it impacts longer form documents… Initially I didn’t see any issues when opening a 2.4.2 document but I’ve only tested in a limited capacity so far… Quote Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse
