evtonic3 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 This is what I see and it really is confusing. I don't really know what what my stroke sizes are in the app based on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hi evtonic3, Are you able to replicate this from scratch? Can you detail the steps you are taking to end up in that state? Thanks. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think the settings that I set are what may cause this. The video shows the irregularities of how when I add a stroke and change the settings the display settings get stuck. And also at the end the app switches my stroke stack, it actually swaps the colors! stroke_bug.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The issue seems to relate to the stroke width values or their associates icons to the left of the values not updating/refreshing correctly in the 'Appearance' panel when the 'Draw stroke behind' and 'Draw stroke infront' buttons are selected. Example Draw a rectangle and give it a 30pt green stroke, aligned centred. The colours are not relevant, simply for illustration purposes. Add an additional 15pt red stroke to the rectangle in the 'Appearance' panel. You now have the red 15pt stroke sitting above the green 30pt stroke in the 'Appearance' panel. Select the 15pt stroke in the 'Appearance' panel and simply change the order by selecting the 'Draw stroke behind' button. The issue is that the red stroke is now shown in the 'Appearance' panel as being 30pt and the green stroke as 15pt, despite not having changed the respective stroke widths. Click the red stroke width now indicated as 30pt in the 'Appearance' panel and it shows as the correct 15pt width on the width slider. Adjust the width of the stroke to say 16pt, click off the adjustment panel and then click once on the stroke width text in the 'Appearance' panel and the stroke width values are updated/corrected for both strokes. This is repeatable everytime. I think this has already been reported, in fact I think I may have reported it before.

Is there a difference between the Draw stroke behind/front and manually moving a stroke in the stroke stack behind or front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes, it is fine if moving the 'layers' manually. The 'bug' if it is one, only seems to show itself when clicking the Draw behind/infront buttons themselves. It almost seems like a screen refresh issue in that the information isn't updating but the actual object ordering is.

Staff Sean P Posted July 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hi evtonic3, There is a known issue that changing the position of the stroke (Draw Behind/Infront) on the flyout doesn't update the Appearance Panel so it looks like you are running into that. I should also add that the 'Scale stroke with object' can also cause the size to get reported incorrectly in the Appearance Panel if the object is resized. Both issues are already with development! evtonic3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
