Designer crashes in the middle of using vector brush


Recommended Posts

Hi Red.foxx15,

The crash you've attached is for Affinity Photo - however the Vector Brushes are only in Designer. Do you have the crash report for Designer (ideally the contents of the one that appears after the crash, prior to sending it to Apple). Are you able to try and capture you reproducing the crash on using a screen recorder please? 

Also what brushes are you using when it happens, does it happen on a new document or is it specific to the document you're working on? Would you be able to attach a copy of the brushes you're using and the document if possible please.

Thats not embarrassing at all. Corrected file attached. The crashes are random and spaced out so I'm not sure that I would be able to catch it with a recording effectively.

The brush that's being used is whatever the default brush is. I have yet to get any more complex than that.

Thanks very much for the file. Do you tend to use the [ or ] keyboard shortcuts to adjust the brush size whilst painting? I've managed to get a very similar crash by doing that, but again haven't been able to reproduce it since. I'm going to pass both this and my crash report on to development to see if that gives any hints as to what might be happening.

sorry for the late response. Yes I do adjust my brush sizing using those keys.

Do you do that whilst in the middle of drawing a stroke? If so it could be that, that is causing the crash. If so could you try not doing that in the middle of the stroke and see if that helps to avoid the crashing!

I'm having a similar problem so will piggy-back onto this post. Designer on MacOS crashed three times yesterday and today with (so far) no noticeable pattern. The last crash happened while I was setting "Color" for a vector brush on a new ArtBoard. The crash report is attached.
