On Affinity Designer, doing pixel work is somewhat problematic sometimes. Most problems stem from a single case scenario were I draw an object, I then resize it, and then try to work on it again. What happens can be seen on the image I've attached.

The first three images show how the pixel tool doesn't align to the size its supposed to have. It will vary between: no pixel at all, a rectangle, and the proper shape.

The last image shows how some leftover stuff is attached to the image if I pass the cursor over it. These leftovers aren't actually on the object, and I move it they go away, but it's still annoying.

Would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.

I don't get any of that doing pixel work, what Operating System are you using, and what are your performance settings in Preferences?

 

maybe attach a file that it does this on?

Have you resized the object like I said, though? That's what triggers it.

Here's an example. I drew a smiley face, everything worked fine, then I resized it, and when I tried repaint the borders red (going pixel by pixel with the pixel tool), I couldn't get a straight line on all sides.

Found this to be odd, when the shape is moved to half pixel the pixels won't paint, but moving back to align with the pixel grid the pixel tool will paint.

Sorry it took me long to respond, I appreciate your answer very much so.

From the first video, it seems that the problem is on me, somehow, but then the second one is something I believe I've experienced, so I'm not sure what to do other than update my version and hope it's fixed. Thanks.
