Vicente Bermúdez Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I do not know if it has already been requested, but I think it would be advisable to change the tab order in the transformation panel. Any designer or layout designer, when positioning and resizing an object, thinks first of the position coordinates and the size of the object. It would be logical that when pressing tabulator in the transformation panel, follow the order: position X, position Y, width, height. But now the order is: position X, width, position Y, height. Would not it be more logical and easy to make that small change? This occurs in all Affinity applications: Designer, Photo and Publisher. jc4d and John Rostron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicente Bermúdez Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 In the latest beta versions of Affinity Publisher the tab order in the transformation panel was corrected to be: X, Y, W, H. And in the final versions of AD and AP the same was done. In the beginning everything worked fine, but now all the applications return to malfunction and have returned to order: X, W, Y, H. I have read a message that states that this happens when the panel is decoupled and I have verified that it is true. In Affinity Photo it worked fine, I have decoupled it and it has behaved incorrectly as in the other applications. I have tried to restore the study, but the wrong behavior persists and there is no way to return to the correct state. Any suggestions on this? Thank you.

That explains the problem I came across, remove the Transform studio and it is broken. The only way to get back to X, Y, W, H is to start with the Control key held down and have the Reset Studio checked. A bug for certain.

FYI: […] Link—when enabled, width and height are adjusted in proportion to each other, maintaining the current aspect ratio. When deselected, they can be adjusted independently. R—Rotation. Rotates the object (layer) by a specified number of degrees in relation to the selected anchor point. S—Shear.

Staff Dan C Posted October 29, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks for confirming - I've tried to replicate this and unfortunately I'm not seeing the same behaviour. Other than entering separated mode, are there any other steps to reproduce this?

Staff Dan C Posted October 30, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for that, I've tried this morning using my Mac on Catalina 10.15 and my colleagues Mojave 10.14 and I haven't been able to replicate this in either Separated or Non Separated mode, with the Transform Studio both docked in it's default location or undocked, and with the Link both activated and deactivated. Unfortunately at no point was the 'Link' selected when tabbing through. Could you possibly provide a screen recording of this?

Staff Dan C Posted November 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2019 Thanks Bruce, the issue shown in your screen recording is already logged with our developers - the issue Oval is referring to is TAB selecting the 'Link' on the right hand side of W&H - which through all my testing I've been unable to replicate thus far.

Hots Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 3 years later, and still not fixed… 😞 Please increase the priority of this; it's a serious deal breaker, when I'm trying to put items at the correct coordinates and use X-TAB-Y as the way to match recently memorized coordinates. Having to hit tab TWICE to get from X to Y is a total productivity showstopper, and results in several suddenly-widening objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
