Placed files, move tool, scale, status bar

[NotMyFault]

When you use the scale slider for resizing placed files, the text in status bar changes when crossing 100% scale from above or below, causing some irritating flickering. I noticed similar „unsteady“ status bars at several other tools. Would be great if Affinity can spend a little QA time and spare users from raising dozens of individual bug reports.

I noticed this only as M1 iPad has so many redraw issues (any layer can become unresponsive an does not get redrawn) so I often try to intentionally trigger a redraw, which did not help but let me notice the status bar issue.

Hi @NotMyFault,

I've not observed any UI flickering when using the scale slider following an image placement so far, could you provide a screen recording demonstrating this?

Thanks

Hi Nathan,

hope that recording helps.

Happens no matter if pen or touch is used

It seems there must be another layer in the file. Maybe snapping causes the behavior.

Here the file. Depending on location of the other layer issue triggers or not.

Much appreciated, thanks! I can confirm I've replicated and logged the issue, even on a new document.
