billyok Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Getting this little guy to show up is tricky enough, and 80% of the time, when I click after doing so, it turns into a resize arrow. The window for accessing this is way way way too small. Please consider a key modifier or something. The transform panel is ok, but it's not the same as manipulating the object directly.

lepr Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Welcome to the Affinity forums It's particularly annoying that the 'slippery' controls came with v2 after years of no problem in v1. Snapseed 1 Quote

What OS are you using? For me it works perfectly fine on Windows. It may also depend on the size/resolution of the monitor, which would affect the size of the shear control area. And maybe it can also depend on the Tool handle size in Preferences.

fde101 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I'm not having any difficulty getting that feature when I want to use it, but I do agree that the hot zone for this is incredibly small and could definitely stand to be enlarged. Same with rotation at the corners. Oufti 1 Quote
