Selection Brush Preview does not preview correctly

[artmischke]

Dear Team, 

the behavior of changing the size of the selection brush is weird. It´s not WYSIWYG. You need to click outside on the interface once to get the real size of the brush shown. Sometimes nothing is shown at all - just the cursor. 

Version 2.6.2 - Mac Studio M1 Max.

Hi @artmischke Sorry for the delay.

I just wanted to confirm your workflow, I've also done a screen recording.

1. Open image
2. Select the Selection Brush Tool and increase to a large size (for visible effect)
3. Single click on image to make a selection
4. Use Edit > Undo
5. On the Context toolbar, reduce the brush size

Do you have Hardware Acceleration enabled within the apps Settings > Performance?

Dear Lee, 

seems I don´t see what you get out of the software...

- See video - Hardware Acceleration(Metal) - OFF

And this is with Hardware Acceleration(Metal) ON - Mac Studio M1 Max - Affinity Photo 2.6.2 - Latest Production Build...

Hi @artmischke,

I'm seeing the same issue when changing the selection brush size via the context toolbar on Mac in both 2.5.7 and the 2.6.3 Beta. After changing the brush size, clicking the keyboard shortcut ⌥ ] or ⌥ [ resizes the brush preview to show the correct size. I would consider this to be a bug as it works without issue on Windows...
