Line Crashes Affinity Designer on Zoom

[JaV.]

Hi,
I recently worked on a Projekt with Designer V2 that constantly crashed as soon as i zoomed in on certain point.
I now was able to pin down the object responsible for the crash: it's a line that i drew freehand on my wacom tablet (i think i was using the pen tool and later converted it to a brush stroke)

Zooming in on that line makes Affinity crash instantly.

I'm using Version 2.5.5 on Windows 11
hardware acceleration is on (but also crashes when off)

A screenshot and the AFDESIGN file is attached

Thanks for looking into this!

Hi @JaV.,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Thanks for reporting this. I'm also experiencing the crash as soon as I zoom in. I'm logging the issue to be looked at.

Just for an extra bit of info’, confirmed in Designer 2.5.5 on Windows 10.

The application ‘hangs’ (which lasts about a minute) and then crashes when the zoom level goes beyond various points depending on how the zoom is being actuated (around 600% using the mouse scroll-wheel or around 460% when incrementing the zoom value via the Navigator zoom value field, for me anyway).

Prior to the ‘hang’ and crash, the curve looks a bit blurred.

Releasing the Curve Layer from the Layer layer doesn’t make a difference.

No crash report is produced.

Strangely it crashes on Windows but not on Mac... but if you remove the extraneous End Node it no longer crashes on Windows...
