Kim Slawson Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I've noticed that the grid jumps around when panning and zooming the window. This seemingly only affects the secondary or vertical grid axis (I haven't been able to make it affect the primary grid axis). I've made a gfycat video demonstrating the inconsistency: https://gfycat.com/spottedvibrantgreathornedowl First I tried to snap an object to the existing grid but as you can see it doesn't line up with the grid lines on the screen (though it seems the snapping grid is still accurate). Then I move and pan around and you can see the vertical grid doesn't properly stay aligned. My grid/snapping settings are attached in an image. Standard, but nonuniform grid with a different horizontal and vertical axis setting. Aligned the origin to the bottom left of the document using the axis editing handles. Thoughts? Is this a known issue? ETA on fix if known? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Slawson Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Following up, I notice a pre-1.71 bug reported in late 2017 here that seems eerily similar: @Sean P said it was a bug affecting mac but not win, and that he would make sure the dev team was apprised. Is this the same issue? Edited August 4, 2019 by Kim Slawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted August 5, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hi Kim, This is still open with development to be fixed. In the meantime could you set your Display to 'Metal' inside Preferences > Performance please? If you can't select that, try OpenGL (Basic). This issue only affects users when using OpenGL or Software. Thanks! Vladimir Anokhin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Slawson Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thank you. That does work. Should Metal be the default graphics subsystem, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Anokhin Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Same here. Thanks to Sean P, switching to Metal helped. Attached screencast. BTW, I'm a huge fan of the Affinity products. Love it. video_screencast.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
