[Solved] Cannot change the data value for the QR code

[Paul Mc]

I can create a QR barcode using the QR code tool in Affinity Designer however it is stuck on the default value (the Affinity web address). Clicking on the Data button does not reveal the dialog box that I have previously seen so I'm unable to change the value. 

Further testing shows this works as expected in Affinity Photo and I'm able to create and copy that across to my Designer document. One strange thing that might not be related is that when I click on the Data button I see a small crosshair appear at the top left of the document canvas.

Version 2.5.3 on Windows 10.

Could it be appearing on  a second screen?

(or closed laptop screen?)

@carl123 Bingo!. That screen was switched off though. It is strange that it works that way. Thank you. I feel a bit stupid now for not checking.

We have all been there..... I mean it is common for everyone else to make that mistake, I of course would never be caught doing that! 🙂
