Stroke and tracking options disappeared from character panel in Affinity Photo 2

[GNichols]

I can't figure out what I did. A few seconds ago I was able to adjust the tracking and stroke. Now, all the options have disappeared from the character panel. My vision isn't great and operating on a small laptop screen makes it tougher to see.

I might have missed something. Before this happened, I was simply scrolling down the character panel. I reached the part you see in the screenshot and tried to scroll back up but nothing is there to scroll up to.

Disregard. It was an issue with the software. I closed Affinity Photo, reopened it, and the character options are there. I should've done that before posting this question.

This is also evident from the position of your scrollbar thumb:

Just slide your thumb up (which in your case happened by restarting the app, which resets the panel display to its default positions) to show the top of the scrolling part of the panel, as seen in your second screenshot:

 

P.S. The display of the panel is not very clear and unambiguous, because its fixed part is not visually separated from the scrolling part, so they completely merge. In my case, at least the scrollbar arrow is displayed, which indicates the beginning of the scrolling area:

@GNichols When posting screenshots, please give us full-screen screenshots (whole application UI) where possible.

They are often more useful for diagnostic purposes than limited-area screen-grabs. (We can always zoom in to full-screen screenshots to see the details but we can’t ‘zoom out’ to see information that isn’t there.)

If you are using more than one screen then a full-screen screenshot of each screen you are using the application on would help.
