AP: mask layer affecting layer it is not associated with

[Badder]

Hello! I'm new to Affinity Photo and am surprised with the following:

If I group two adjustment layers and associate a mask layer with that group, it seems that the mask layer will be affecting the underlying pixel layer rather than the group of adjustment layers. See A.png.

It works as I expected if I associate the mask layer only with one adjustment layer. See B.png.

I'd like to have a mask layer affecting the group of adjustment layers. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

I've just had the same issue since updating to 1.7.2, it worked as you would expect in your top screenshot in 1.7.1

Hi Badder,

This looks like it could be an issue with the new update. Please could you provide the file in question so I can confirm this?

Thanks

I can confirm this issue in 1.7.2.

 @Callum, sorry for the delay. Attached is a sample file demonstrating the problem - the mask is affecting the underlying background instead of the group of adjustments.
