Floating studio panels obscure files/folders windows (Affinity Designer)

[D Dot]

Been using Affinity Designer for several weeks now and this has been an ongoing problem.

When placing images or opening files, any 'floating' Studio panels remain in the foreground - obsuring the contents of the files/folders window.

I have to repeatedly move around/hide the panels when placing images/opening files. Gets pretty irritating.
 

Fix would be appreciated. Thanks.

(using Affinity 1.6.5 Designer on Mac)

Hi @D Dot,

I have moved this to feature requests as it's not a bug. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

@GabrielM - Thanks for replying.

How do you conclude it's a feature as opposed to a bug? I'm not 100% on the definitions you use, but certainly seems 'buggy' IMO - unusual behaviour that doesn't happen in other apps and affects usability.

Thanks.

I'm not saying is a feature. Our suggestions/feature requests section is the place for "non-bug" threads. A bug is usually something that's preventing you from let's say going from A to B. What you have reported is a feature/improvement request.

Ok thanks for explaining.

It's certainly making it difficult to get from from A > B (eg. clicking 'Place image' > selecting the actual image file) - not preventing it entirely.
