The problem is clearly peculiar to one particular setup.
Recycler wrote:I have test-installed affinity.studio on two other Win 11 Home machines, both of which work perfectly in this respect, so something is clearly up with this particular PC. I've tried all the non-invasive things I can think of (such as preventing auto-loaded programs from starting).
If the mouse button is misbehaving, that should be easily verifiable by swapping with the mouse on one of the other machines. Anything related to drivers would obviously require more invasive measures.
Welcome, Mike! Thanks for joining my merry little band.
I’m sorry I don’t have any suggestions to help you solve the problem that you’ve described. I currently only have access to a Win 10 Pro laptop, and I’ve never used any flavour of Win 11.

Thanks for joining us here, Hugh, and thanks for the ‘heads up’ about the update to Nik Collection 6.
Thanks for sharing the good news!
APoster wrote:I don't know how to show the Layer Structure.
For future reference, the Objects tab in the Studio shows the stacking order of objects on the page. As Ali hinted, you can specify a CSS z-index value to change the position of an object in the stack.
Please see https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_z-index.php.
There’s probably something covering the area that should be clickable. Please share your *.wpp file or a cut-down version of it, or at least attach a screenshot showing the layer structure.

In what sense is the 1800s not many years back, Eric? No one here was alive in the nineteenth century. I believe Geoff (‘GB’) began his tenth decade at the end of last year, with his 91st birthday to look forward to in three weeks’ time, but I get the strong impression that all the rest of my fellow forum members are younger than that.
Very nice, Albert! And a very merry Christmas to you and yours.
How’s that for originality?
jfg17 wrote:Sorry this has all got confused.
The source of the confusion is that you’ve been referring to WebPlus, WordPress, and “WordPlus”. The latter product doesn’t exist (and never has existed, as far as I’m aware). Hence the requests for clarification about the product that you want to use when creating your navbar dropdowns.
jfg17 wrote:I want to stick with WordPlus at present. So I was looking if it were possible to create a horizontal navigation bar with drop down options with that software?
It is not the end of the world if not.
jfg17 wrote:Ali wrote:WYSIWYG Web Builder gives you way more control over your websites than Word Press, It is not a hosted solution - it's a build-your-own solution like WebPlus. It's a different animal altogether.
Thanks Ali,
I did appreciate that.
For what I am trying to achieve overall at the moment I will stick with WordPlus for now as the page sizing is the only "restriction" and I can get around that another way.
Thanks for listening and offering advice.
However, I do have one more question.
Is it possible to create a horizontal navigation bar with drop down options?
If you’re asking about menus in WordPress, there’s a video tutorial here:
https://wordpress.com/support/menus/cre … down-menus
There are also written instructions on that page.
Thanks, Gordon. Happy Christmas to you, too!
jfg17 wrote:What I would like to do now, but cannot find a way, is to not have a fixed page size, if that is possible.
WebPlus never entirely shook off its DTP roots, so the best we can do is to provide a choice of fixed page sizes. Nigel Cooper (‘nfc212’, sadly no longer with us) did develop a method of creating responsive sites using WebPlus, but it wasn’t for the faint-hearted and I don’t have the details to hand.
Thanks for the “heads up”, Ali. Happy birthday from me, too, Lon!
And happy St Nicholas Day to one and all.
Thanks, Sam! 
For alternative language versions, you can replace en_gb with other locale codes such as de_de or pt_br (but I haven’t tested to see whether codes such as fr_ca or en_au also work).

That’s quite a remarkable achievement, isn’t it!
Twolane wrote:Alfred, Trump's party (of the Republican kind) will be wheeling him out in a wheelchair.
People were worried that he’d refuse to leave the White House after being defeated by Joe Biden in the 2020 election. I remember watching a video purporting to show him sitting in his chair (an office chair with castors/casters) and being wheeled out from behind the Resolute Desk, out of the Oval Office, down a long corridor, out of the White House and into a waiting removal van.
The clearest symptom yet of Trump’s mental decline
Robert Reich wrote:His brain is turning into sh*t
TL;DR: Robert Reich is calling for Section 4 of the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution to be invoked. This would mean stripping the President of his powers and allowing his VP to take over.
APoster wrote:I don't know what I did to change the workspace layout.
Once you’ve got it back to the way you prefer, go to the View menu and choose ‘Tabs > Save Workspace’ so that it’s available for reinstating (via ‘Tabs > Load Workspace’) if it ever gets messed up again.
Thanks, Ali! I’ve moved this topic from the General Discussion forum.
@APoster: Your screenshot shows that the ‘.html’ button on the Pages tab is active. If you hover over that button you’ll get a tooltip with the words ‘Show Page Name or File Name’, which tells you that it toggles between those two options. Simply click on the button to deactivate it and get your page names back.
Ali wrote:Choose Enterprise if you have the EXE installation, but for MSIX run the Windows option.
From https://affinity.studio/help/windows-installer-types:
"Windows (Intel/AMD)" and "Windows (ARM)" are the recommended option and are MSIX installers. They support in-app automatic updates, meaning you won’t need to manually download and run future installers.
"Enterprise (Intel/AMD)" and "Enterprise (ARM)" are MSI/EXE installers and may be preferable if:
• You encounter issues with the MSIX version
• You’re installing on an Education or Enterprise network that restricts MSIX
• You need more control over installation settings (e.g., destination directory, easier integration with other software)
Is that the MSIX version, or MSI/EXE?

Welcome, Chris! Thanks for joining us here.
Which version do you currently have installed?

Alfred wrote:“the latest Affinity version is now available”
Sorry, I should have written “the latest Affinity version is now available”. I’ve no idea why those two words are bold.
Thanks, Ali. I wonder why they say “the latest Affinity version is now available” when it isn’t!
