resinolo Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Hello I have a major problem in the whole Affinity Suite. For example: I draw a star with the shape tool. Now I change the size of the outer circle. However, as soon as I change the inner circle, the star jumps back to its original shape, so everything is jagged again... Or with the polygon tool I change the number of sides from 5 to 10. If I increase the curve to 10%, I get a polygon with 5 sides again. What's going on? Do any of you have a hint where the problem comes from? How could I fix it? Many thanks for a hint. I am working with 2.5.7 and MacOS 15.2. Quote
GarryP Posted February 3 Posted February 3 I’m not entirely sure which tool you are using at different points of that paragraph or which shapes you are working with. Can you give us a specific step-by-step example using one tool, preferably with a full-screen recording so we can see what you are doing and what happens when you do it? Quote

If you mean the Star Tool, it has no inner or outer circle so it is not clear which tool you are using. 3 hours ago, resinolo said: Or with the polygon tool I change the number of sides from 5 to 10. If I increase the curve to 10%, I get a polygon with 5 sides again. I can't duplicate that here on my Mac. Tested in both AD & AP 2.5.7. Are you sure you are using the Polygon tool?

lepr Posted February 3 Posted February 3 That bug with the context toolbar controls has been fixed for the imminent release of 2.6. R C-R and resinolo 2 Quote
R C-R Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Thanks for the screenshots. I have seen this reported before but unless it is something related to my using an older macOS version, I have no idea why it is working for me & not for you. Well, this is very annoying! I swear that earlier it was working fine for me in 2.5.7 but just now when I tested it again, I got the same behavior you did.

It is working perfectly here too with MAC 13.7.1, so it is either an issue with v. 2.5.7 or with MAC 15.2. Since @lepr states that the issue is addressed with v. 2.6, I gather that 2.5.7 is the culprit.

I think you posted before my edit saying it is not working OK for me in 2.5.7. No idea why it seemed to earlier today. jmwellborn 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.7 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7
resinolo Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Thank you very much for your feedback. If I understand correctly, we have no choice but to wait for version 2.6. Does anyone know when this will be released? Quote
