Transform Origin Issues - iPad

[davidgall]

I’ve just started having issues with the Transform Origin in the past month. Suddenly, the origin is disappearing the moment I select it. What is strange is that it had been working fine on the object but then it quits working. You’ll see in my video that (despite not seeing my pen) the origin disappears when selected and the text “0 objects” appears. But in my video, I create a new line and the origins operates as it should. Any ideas? A Setting or a Bug?  Thanks in advance.

Please activate „show touches“ in settings.

next, include the layer panel in recording (open it when issue happens)

the most likely cause is touching the canvas (maybe unintentionally), thus the layer gets deselected.

@NotMyFault  thanks for tip; “show touches”

I’ve uploaded a new video with my touches. You’ll see the Origin is disappearing. I use a pen and made sure that I’m not inadvertently touching the screen (or even breathing heavily).

You’ll also see that I add a new line and the Origin works correctly. It seems that after 10-20 new actions, the newly created lines loose the Origin. Thanks

I see the issue. Carefully review the video, at 0:40 when you try to move the origin point, Affinity mistakes this as selection gesture, as the touch point is in the middle between 2 curves. Consequently, all layers get deselected, this is what seemingly vanish the origin point.
 

I rate this as bug, too, and suffered multiple times.

it can only be avoided by zooming in, but this is often impractical when you need to be more zoomed out to be able to see or reach other parts of the objects like bounding box nodes.

Hi @davidgall,

I can confirm this is a known bug currently logged with the developers. The issue will typically trigger after increasing the curve width, deselecting and reselecting the curve, causing the transform origin to incorrectly offset and prevent selection. I've bumped this issue with your report.
