As I cannot view your video I will assume you are adding an Adjustment layer. This is how adjustment layers work, in all three applications. 

 

Not a bug.

Also why bother going to the Photo Persona to add something which is available in the Publisher (and Designer) persona.

If you apply an adjustment or filter on top of the stack aka everything it will be applied to everything.
Either apply as child to another layer or change where it should go in the assistant in the settings.

Well this is another not logical things in Affinity, logical is, taht if nothing is selected, nothing is in progress, that kind of nonsence yust iritate work, no logic at all

[Iztok]

Or this should be set by default as non adjustment on layer, who work on all page with few elements at once?

[Iztok]

1:100 and even than you can do select all, so are you set basic on 100 users or one as defailt?

It is 100% logical. If you decide to add an Adjustment layer, it should be applied to something -- otherwise why would you add it? And as @Circulus showed you have a choice of what it is added to, either a layer if one is selected or to the top of the layer stack where it will affect everything below it.

Are you suggesting that if a user adds an adjustment layer, it should not have any effect? That makes no sense. And what does the number of elements (I assume by that you mean layers, right?) have to do with this?

Again, are you talking about layers or something else? And what does "1:00" refer to?

[Iztok]

Simple i select 4 layers an one layer dont want to change? So it works only in this example, I am professional I work 30 years on graphic and this example is one of 100, so also when I say that exlude line between pages is necessary you have your own logic, line is back, thank and I advise to lisen yusers and forget programner logik, because you only complicate simple things and now everyone should know, that in prefrences is one  command to solve this, doesn't work so, we are intuitive users and want logic and simple, not complicated and nonlogical. Simple if I want to work on one picture I select one if I want on more, select more - that is simple- basic settings should be in position for individual layer, and if some strange designer work always on all layers in page, then let he change settings in preferences

I have as default, but have nothing to do with remark I did, if nothing is selected, it work an all layers on page instead of no change if nothing is selected.

If you do not want any change then why are you adding an adjustment layer? What purpose would that serve?
