Do you also see this misrepresentation when you disable hardware acceleration in Affinity Photo under Settings -> Performance?

That did it! It works now flawlessly. Thank you so much for helping me out.

Daveyjones You are welcome!

Hi, Daveyjones. I'm glad you got this sorted out. I was just sitting down to my desktop computer to try to duplicate what you'd done, and I opened the forum to grab your image. I see that disabling hardware acceleration was the answer. For some folks, Affinity Photo 2 still had significant issues with screen drawing with hardware acceleration turned on (though I'm not sure just why) and that was always the de facto question to ask when folks asked questions that resulted from extremely funky results, especially with weird colors and segmented screen draws (such as you experienced).

Anyway, good that you found the problem. Shame that the answer will slow down your results (although faster but crappy results are never a good thing)!

Maybe this is related to the GPU drivers used. I am running APhoto on a Windows PC. Don't know if this is also happening on MacOS.

can confirm the macros using the 'import' from the 'file' menu works like a champ for affinity v3, this is on linux mint cinnamon 22.2

used the pencil sketch, and bumped the settings to get something more ready for t-shirt printing to show that sometimes a brush size above 1px is handy (all that is left is to erase the background then manipulate the remaining isolated octopus)

thank you Seth
