Weird text rendering with background layer

[rad]

In Affinity Designer,

 

 Adding a text object to a newly created document creates the text render on the left side.

 

Add a background (white or off-white, doesn't matter), and you get the text render on the right side.

 

Not sure if this is a bug or if it can be changed with a setting.

Hi rad,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

This is because you set the colour opacity of the text objects to 70% (headline) and 87% (body). Select it and check the Colour panel on bottom - the Opacity slider (if you are seeing Noise there click on the small circle below the label to change to Opacity).

I added a no-opacity and a white-background preview to the first post. Take a look.

Thanks. Yes, seems there's something wrong with text rendering here.

I've passed this to the dev team. Issue logged.

It seems to be related to the blend gamma setting of the text

 

Setting the blend gamma to 2.2 seems to cure it
