Feathered Selection Bug

[KiwiB]

When you feather a selection it should not be automatically applied where the selection reaches a frame edge.  But in AP that is what happens.  It seems to be especially noticeable at the side frame.  Consider a sky edit as an example -  surely you would want the feathering to apply only to the horizon edge of the sky.  Photoshop sorted this out years ago.  

Please fix this.

Hi @KiwiB,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
How did you create the selection? Have you tried with the Free Hand Selection Tool?
Can't you draw it a bit more above the edge of the canvas?

Thanks for your reply.  I used the Selection Brush, and the Quick Mask method - both when feathered produce the same result.  How do you extend a selection beyond the canvas edge?  

I remember that Photoshop also had this issue but they rectified it some years ago - now their feathering applies only where the selection does not contact the image frame, as it should.

Hi MEB, I have now also experimented with the Freehand Tool Method, and although that appears to allow selections beyond the image edges, once feathering is applied, the same problem results.
