buggy update for Designer v. 1.6.2.97

[gypsiwoman]

I recently downloaded the latest update for Affinity Designer 9V. 1.6.2.97). Since updating, I find that when I press F1 for help, I get several error windows regarding various script errors that ask me if I want to continue running scripts on the page. This hasn't happened before. Is anyone else having this issue? How can I fix it? Thank you.

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced Tab

Make sure the highlighted settings look like mine. Click Apply, Click OK.

Thanks for your reply. My Internet Options settings look exactly like yours do but I'm still getting those messages. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi Gypsiwoman, 

 

Welcome to the forums

 

Please could you tell me which version of Internet Explorer you are using?

 

Thanks

Greetings, Callum. Thanks for helping out.

 

I do not use IE. I use Google Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit).

I believe that Affinity uses the IE engine to display some of its output. So, even if you do not use it, Affinity does.

Yip on Win the MS web browser API controls are IE based and use code portions of that, since that way things look overall the same and is always system available. - Otherwise you would always have to determine first the systems actual default setup webbrowser and then reroute to execute an external process which calls that one instead with a given URL.
