lbrooks Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Why do tool palettes float above dialog boxes? I have to move tools out of the way when opening or saving a file. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is because you have undocked the Tools panel & dragged the Appearance, Character, & Glyph panels out to 'float' detached from the Affinity Designer workspace window, & selected File > Open.

lbrooks Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I find that to be very strange behavior - dialog boxes should come forward and do in every app that I can think of from the last 25 years or so..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that modal windows should never be hidden behind other UI elements. The developers have mentioned that one of the design goals for the Affinity apps was to eliminate as many of them as possible, but I think in this case they have taken that too far.

spinhead Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 And is there any hope of this unusual and unhelpful behavior being changed? It's a right nuisance. Samuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
