eobet Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I am designing a 24x24 pixel icon, and for optimal workflow I want a 1500-3000% zoomed window AND a 100% zoomed window. I was very happy that Affinity seems to support this, AND update both windows in real-time! Super well made, and absolutely awesome! However, the selection behavior suddenly becomes extremely strange an erratic. It actually seems as if the zoomed window has proportionally the selection size of the small window, in that I can click way off an object, and it will still get selected, and resizing handles will be active way, way outside of the highlighted object, and snapping (which I didn't think I had turned on) goes across great distances. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eobet Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Can someone move this to the bug forums please, because I'm starting to think this is more a bug than something I did wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It seems to be in the Bugs forum, @eobet. Possibly a passing moderator moved it; I don't recall where it was when you originally posted it.

Staff Sean P Posted July 15, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi eobet, Does this happen for you on a new document? Would you be able to attach your file that demonstrates this please? I've just tried a quick test on a new document and it seemed to be behaving. Is there anything you're doing prior to this that maybe causing this? I've noticed the screen size of Designer seems very small - what resolution is your Windows set to and what Display DPI? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eobet Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hello, and thank you for the reply! I couldn't actually recreate this in a new document. However, this is the file that has the issue, and I am able to recreate it even on a second machine running 1440p: https://www.dropbox.com/s/llbewi4ebqo0ak3/RhinoRandomColorIcon.afdesign?dl=0 (The video is low resolution due to my capture software only wanting to capture a part of my screen on that machine, which was 1080p.)

Hello, I now managed to recreate it once again, even on 1.7.2: Please see attached example file: This is a showstopper for me when it comes to doing icon design. I need a 100% preview while I'm working in zoomed mode. untitled.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thank you very much for the video and file. I've now reproduced this and it looks like it is being caused by the 'Snap to geometry of selected curve' option on the context toolbar. I believe it is using the zoom level settings of the smaller window you've just come out from when trying to snap, and not the one of the higher zoom. Quickly adjusting the zoom of the zoomed in part will correct it. I'll get this passed on to development. Thanks for your perseverance! eobet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosomakPL Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I have the same problem after upgrading to 1.7.x . Thanks for sending this to devs. Actually turning off the snapping significantly reduces this effect. Unfortunately, it still occurs when zooming but with much less intensity. Some kind laggy feel.
