abfdesign Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi All A weird one. Could be just me. I have some older documents that have been ongoing for a long while in Affinity Designer on my iMac. I have just gone into edit a few and some do not let me 'ALT DRAG COPY'. Is it something I have inadvertently switched off? Or document becoming corrupt? I worry about the latter. This has only happened to some, not all, so far.

It may have just been my keyboard. I did try saving one of the contents of a document to a new one and all was fine. So I was going to do it to the others that I new weren't working well, but they are okay now too. Weird eh? Hasn't happened since.

claycle Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 This is happening to me today on some documents. I can open a doc, alt-drag-copy in it, but if I go switch to another document, alt-drag-copy does not work. Works in one, doesn't work in the other.

Staff Dan C Posted May 7, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi @claycle, Sorry to hear this! 11 hours ago, claycle said: Works in one, doesn't work in the other Can you please try closing the document where alt-click works, does this now work in the document you left open? I'm interested in testing whether the issue is caused by having multiple documents open, or by the document itself. If you close and restart the Affinity app, then re-open this document, does Alt-dragging work as expected? Can you please provide a screen recording of the steps you're taking and a sample file showing the issue? Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

mikeaff Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I had the same issue on a document. The solution was to save the document, restart Designer and it worked fine again. There's a bug that's causing this. All I remember was pressing a combination of keys including ALT, CTRL and Esc while trying to use symbols on my 60% keyboard, and it happened after that.
