Move or Node Tool stops selecting object

[Jim Monson]

Sometimes as I am working with various objects in the same layer my Move Tool or Node Tool no longer selects an objects from the layer list , although I have just selected other object in the same layer. The top layer and all of the layer objects are open. I sometimes can then click on the object itself (on the map on which I am working) and it is selected, and it shows then appears highlighted in the layer list. 

 

This may be a memory problem, especially since earlier I moved layers around in in the layer palette. When I save and close the doc and then exit AD and bring AD and the doc up again, everything works fine, i.e., I can select all of the objects from the layer list.

 

Is this a memory problem, perhaps connected with the fact that my current doc may be dependent upon an earlier version of the same doc, as discussed in an earlier post (https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/3649-file-size-changes/?hl=file+size)?

Hi Jim,

 

It could be related to the previous issue, if you can provide a link to your file I can test it to see if I can reproduce the issue. If you don't want to share the file on here, you can always upload it to Dropbox or something similar and PM me a link to the file.

 

Once I've done with the file it will be deleted.

Thanks, Lee. Actually, I cannot replicate the problem since it is not tied to any one file but seems to occur after working hours in any file. I thought it might be a memory problem (undos taking up memory) Other times I can work all day and nothing happens. I have done "save as" every few hours, hoping that this might help. I will try to isolate it in the coming days, but no doubt it won't since I've brought it up on the forum.... Will let you know if it does. Jim
