Click zone for transformation handles doesn't always work

[Maxdanger]

If I want to rotate or skew using the transformation handles, I often find the cursor changes to the transformation tool I want to use on mouse over, but the moment I click, it swaps back to the resize mode, so it's very difficult to get the rotate or skew modes to engage:

 

It's very hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This is present in all apps, not just Designer.

Hi, I believe this is a known issue with Affinity on trackpads. It should work correctly with a mouse.

It should (and apparently does) work correctly with a mouse. It should also (but apparently doesn’t) work correctly with a trackpad!

Thanks @MikeTO I didn't see reports when I searched so apologies for duplication.

I exclusively use my laptop without a mouse so the workaround doesn't work for my workflow.
