Export bug - grey band/blocks are back

[lysynski]

I reported this bug in 2023 (v2.1.0), it's back.

1. Photo V2
2. v 2.6.0
3. yes, on more than 1 image
4. happens with existing image (attached)
5. File> export; document flat file type such as JPG; preview will show grey blocks on RHS; exported image will have grey blocks

Hi @lysynski,

The issue appears to be with your Mask Layer which is set at 60% opacity... If instead, you set the opacity of the Mask layer to 100% and change its parent pixel layer opacity to 60% that should resolve the issue...

Ok, but why would the opacity of a mask layer cause a problem during export - it's still a bug.

Absolutely, sorry I wasn't disagreeing with you, just trying to find a short term workaround... Did your original report get logged as a bug, and if so, do you happen to know the bug reference for your original post?

If you zoom in and out of the image, you'll see other areas of transparency (or grey depending on whether you have Hardware Acceleration enabled) across the image, though for some reason only the blocks on the right of the image export with the grey blocks...

I don't know how that's looked but it does have this tag attached to the post: AFP-6227.  And look at that, it's the same image I shared last time!

Thanks for the reference, I've been able to locate your other post highlighting the same issue which has pretty much the same suggested workaround but looking at the post, it is logged as a bug though since there is no Affinity Info Bot notification to indicate it's been fixed which means it's currently still awaiting a resolution...
