airkevin Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If I need to move a group of objects together, I would expect to be able to "pull" a square with the move tool (black arrow tool) over several objects to be selected as a group. Similar publishing programs will include an object in the group selection if even a small piece of it is included in the pulled square selection area. Affinity Publisher requires the entire object to be in the selection area to be included in that group. It's a small bug that I can probably get use to, but it has been inconvenient at times.

SteveP110 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The option that other programs have of left to right or right to left drag to distinguish between enclose and intersect and enclose sections but be an advantage. Especially when to don’t want to select overlapping objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
