Hello! Love a lot of the features on PM Pro.A lot of were gone after the latest update but 1 returned.

Now I keep getting graphical glitches while dragging layers and/or zooming in/out on some projects I'm working on.
Also whenever I hide/unhide layers. Also affects layers that are locked and not being worked on. Image Image

Hey there, any chance you could share an example file with us along with your Mac specs at support@pixelmator.com? It would be much appreciated!

Received and reproduced, thanks! It looks like combining Affine Tile and Op effects seems to make this appear pretty reliably, are there any other effects you often use that cause issues?

I'll have to check which effects I'm using in other projects. Sometimes when zooming in out glitches seem to come and go. Also layers on/off can make the glitches go for a short while. Depending on which layer you're working on. But usually, more layers = more problems.

Yeah, those two effects, if you're using them, will usually be the most problematic, especially when combined together. And, when they stop working correctly, the effects do temporarily affect the appearance of the entire image. So turning them off or hiding the layers that have them applied will fix things but rasterizing (flattening) those effects might also be a decent workaround.
