jfcartier Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 So, this problem have been around for quite some time, (since at least v1.6 I believe). When you rename an Artboard, it sometimes unfocuses the label field for no specific reason (as if there was a loop somewhere that ends the edit process, idk). Sometimes it just unfocuses, sometimes it also deletes it's content to keep the first letter only. Do you have and idea why it does that?

Staff Sean P Posted October 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi jfcartier, This is a known issue that is with development and seems to be related to the speed at which you double click. I understand that these actions are muscle memory, however if you can try and slow the double click speed down you should be able to rename. I'll get it bumped with development though!

jfcartier Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 @Sean P Thanks for the reply! For those who lives the same, I manage to make it work-ish when I double click then use the arrow keys to "trigger" the problem (see video). With arrow keys, it won't end the edit mode, so I can edit the layer. I would agree it's a small problem, but as many, we need to do this, like every minute. At the end of the day, it's a bit annoying and impact the productivity. Thanks again! Untitled.mov Sean P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvanderzee Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have the same issue. Is there a way to upvote a bug like this? So instead with a comment like above. Just like the developers know more ppl have this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triptiks Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 You'll be either happy to know (you aren't crazy!) or saddened to know (Affinity has known about this for years and done nothing) that this bug has existed since even before I made a thread about it back in 2017. It *seems* like a small bug, but after a late night of designing it ends up frustrating me so much that I have vowed to not use this program any more for large scale design tasks, period. The inability to simply make a new layer, and double click it to rename it such a basic and essential failure that over the course of creating 200+, 300+ layers I just can't take it. What's interesting is seeing the reply in this thread from staff that not only acknowledges that it's an old problem, but also acknowledges that they know exactly what causes it and the solution from their end is "try clicking slower?". I can't, for the life of me, begin to comprehend what kind of deep-rooted bug exists in their software that simply clicking too fast warps the UX the way it does. But, oh well.

fde101 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This is actually a traditional Mac behavior with file names under Finder icons also. A fast double-click on the name is the same as on the icon and opens the file/folder, while clicking once to select, then delaying and clicking again allows you to rename.
