Context Toolbar Icons Cannot Be Selected

[macl64]

Hi all, 

I seem to be having a slight issue with certain icons on the context toolbar. Certain icons towards the right side of the toolbar cannot be selected. 

Examples: 

• When creating text, none of the alignment options can be selected. 
• When creating a shape, the "Show rotation centre" and "Hide selection while dragging" options cannot be selected. 
• When using the pencil tool, the "Rope mode" and "Window mode" options cannot be selected.

I wonder if there is something I have overlooked, although I think it is odd that it is always the rightmost icons on the context toolbar that this happens to. While the icons appear, they are unclickable.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi macl64,

Welcome to the forums

Could you please confirm which Affinity application you're using, and on what OS?

No problem at all!

Thanks for that, I've not heard of these issues before and certainly can't replicate them on my PC. I'd recommend resetting your program to default settings, you can reset your app back to its default settings by holding down the CTRL key while launching the app. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear.

Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity - Exporting User Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts video.
