Hello,

Since upgrading to v2.5 I am experiencing massive UI issues with 2 displays connected. Random black and white pixels flickering all over my documents when I move the mouse. It is impossible to work. It is happening in Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher. I replaced all USB-C cables and it is a brand new Eizo display. As soon as I unplug the second display, flickering is gone. It is definitely a bug! I have disabled metal to no avail. I have reported this bug already in December. Will Serif fix this issue? Any workaround?

Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher Version 2.5.7
M2 Mac Studio Ultra, 2 displays connected
macOS Sonoma 14.7.2

@howdytom We do have an issue logged in relation to the canvas flashing on M2 based systems. Out of interest which colour profile is set within Document Setup? If not sRGB, try changing it to sRGB and see if the issue still occurs.

I can't replicate the issue using an M4 MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.2 with two external monitors connected, so it may still be limited to M2 based systems.

Thank you for your confirmation. The Colour profile is already set to sRGB and for CYMK it uses ISO Coated v2 (ECI). Nightshift and dark mode has been turned off.

I am not happy with the current situation. This bug exists since months. Don't get me wrong. It is not a minor issue. This bug makes all apps unusable. How could you possible work with flashing documents all the time. I can’t believe I am the only user. Turning off and on the second display is no longer a solution.
