Running Windows 10 my freehand selection tool had stopped working. All the other selection tools are working properly and I've made sure the proper layer has been selected. Any thoughts?

Hey chucksalvo, welcome to the Affinity Forums. 

 

On the context toolbar at the top, make sure the Mode is set to New or Add. The different selection tools can have separate Modes enabled so you might be set to Subtract. Make sure you try it on a new document too or, if you want to do it on an existing document, try going to Select > Deselect to make sure you don't already have an active selection.

Hi Guys, I can confirm this tool is working correctly on my system, on Beta '98

I am having the same issue on my 2018 iPad. This feature was working seamlessly, I use it a lot. As of last night it no longer works, I make the selection and it “disappears”. I am on mode “add” I have used more than one image, restarted my iPad, reset to affinity factory defaults, still is not working.
