Highvoltage Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What the title says. I can't reproduce it every time, but it happened to me 4 different times in the last 3 hours. Im uploading a file, all you have to do is group all the contents, and the constraint bounding box will jump away. Most of the times it jumps out of the screen so the whole group just dissapears.

Staff Chris B Posted September 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hey Highvoltage,I can see the bug in your file but I can't seem to reproduce it. If I ungroup the Button and Rectangle layer and re-group them and then group the entire thing, it doesn't happen.It doesn't seem to happen on the Mac so I'll pass the file over to the Windows development team.I have replicated it on the Mac.

Staff Chris B Posted September 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 22, 2016 It looks like this may already be logged. The issue seems to lie with the group being constrained and then grouping the constrained group.

Highvoltage Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 I found out that this is very much related to Artboards. If i just move the objects outside of an artboard, i can group it and works ok. If i do the same inside the artboard it goes bezerk. varolagos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highvoltage Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ok, i now can replicate it every time: Create Artboard, Create a few objects Change a constraint option on any of the objects Drag and make a copy of the artboard Group the objects on the new artboard The whole Constraint group will jump out of the artboard the same offset as you dragged the artboard away.

rmxng Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I am also having this problem... It disappears in the layers thumbnail and completely from the screen - though the groups contents can still be seen. Again all within an Artboard rmxng, Highvoltage and manja13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphonz Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 This has been driving me nuts! I hope it gets sorted soon. It happens to me all the time! blueleafstudio.net Affinity Designer - Mac OS X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubs Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I use constraints a lot (for UI design work) and it happens all the time. The best workaround I know of is to manually reset the constraints of all individual objects. An obvious bug that exists for a long time along with many others. Looks like Serif's priorities are elsewhere now. :( Daniel Larsson, matisso and Jowday 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabirdr Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I've been having this problem for a longtime, which makes constraint useless at all. Constraint is a great feature to AD, so please fix it as soon as possible since you've logged it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itomiq Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I also have this problem.

fluxx Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I have this problem too, please fix this Can someone give a workaround what to do, if it happens? Right now my solution is to not group those items, which is somewhat less than perfect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubs Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The workaround I use is to first manually remove all constraints from the desired objects and restore the x-y arrows in the Constraints panel, then group them. It's time consuming, I know, but I hope it works for you. Alas. I still wonder why there are no responses from Serif for well over one year now. This is just one of a collection of very nasty bugs with constraints, objects and artboards that were never addressed. frankstallone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emrahozer Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is a quite annoying bug. Moving the item to outside of the artboard and grouping in there worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluxx Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Version 1.6.4 contained a fix regarding this issue: Quote - Fix for failures when using compound objects inside groups with Constraints set on them. Haven't had the chance to run into it since then so can't confirm if it's fully fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeYbex Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Having the issue as well... on 1.6.1 OSX 10.13.4 (17E202) working with Artboards, and constrainted Elemenets... but maybe i found a workaround... I want to group 5 images, 2 rectangles, 1 text element and 1 embeded document when i group the images first, and then add the other elements one after the other in the layers window, it works, means the group doesn't disappear, it remains visible...

JokeRat Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Is there a schedule for fixing this bug? It's been almost 2 years since it's been reported and the bug is still there. rubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubs Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 By now I assume they are not bothering with this problem and many other serious bugs that were reported a long time ago. They are too busy developing new products.. Jowday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highvoltage Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Damn i'm so happy i've switched to Sketch 2 years ago, when Affinity went out of beta. It was a good move i see now. I still up to this date get email notifications from bugs i reported, never fixed. These were annoying workflow crushing bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, TLDR; Just because we haven't fixed your issues yet, doesn't mean we're not working hard and fixing important bugs. I'm genuinely very sorry that you've been impacted by these issues that affect your productivity and I really do apologise that they have clouded your enjoyment of the product to such a large degree. No reported bugs are ever forgotten, nor are they ignored. They will be fixed as soon as we can get to them. As you're aware, these issues haven't been addressed yet and they are important for your use-case. I know I'm probably asking the impossible, but do also consider that there were other issues that may have been similarly adversely affecting users in other areas of the application and that we have been fixing all of these issues as quickly as we can. Again, I know my apologies will go no way towards making you feel better, but you have them anyway - and also my reassurance that the issues will get tended to. Many thanks,Matt SandMagic, rubs, Mark Ingram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubs Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thanks for listening, and thanks for your answer. AD is my main design tool, I use it on a daily basis. I'm a big advocate of it among fellow designers, and I've already produced hundreds (thousands?) of work files with it. So I'm not going anywhere soon But I feel it's important to know whether these showstoppers will be addressed or not (and when), but I'm not seeing any answers. Please look here for more thoughts. Thanks again. SandMagic and MattP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manja13 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 To this date. Problem still occurring. Constrains Group graphic becomes invisible on art board. Frustrating when you are a newbie with AD for iPad. Please resolve this problem. Thank you! SandMagic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubs Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 This is getting old... I secretly hoped they would fix constraints for 1.7. SandMagic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
