1.7.0 broke basic copy + paste?!

[wastingmytimehere]

I've been using Affinity for months without issue to do the most basic design work imaginable - cropping images into bordered circles - so it's annoying to even have to post here, but 1.7 seems to have broken basic copy + paste formatting preservation.

It used to be simple: create a 1 in, 2in or 4in ellipse with varying border stroke sizes (the sizes I need), copy it, open up an image in a new tab, paste the ellipse over the image and re-size it to fit within how I want it, copy the whole combined layer back to the original document.

Now, every time I do that, the whole damn thing resizes automatically, failing to preserve the measurement in inches AND the set stroke width every.single.time. I have to reset everything manually, which given the number I need to create, is incredibly obnoxious and time-consuming.

Why did this change? Is there a setting or toggle that got flipped to a different default with the update? Selecting Anchor to Page instead of Rescale does absolutely nothing to address this... Appears to do absolutely nothing at all, in fact.

Hi wastingmytimehere,

Would you be able to do a screen recording demonstrating your workflow and where it is going wrong please,  it will be much easier to understand what you're doing!

Thanks,
