Background: I often will create several designs on a single sheet when they have a common theme so I can keep a consistent theme. Once finished I like to save them individually for import into Publisher or whatever I'm working on. It would be nice to be able to have a "Save Selection As..." option to allow for quick export. Current method: Select the elements desired. Copy (CTRL+C). New From Clipboard (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+N). Then "Save As..." on the new document (CTRL+SHIFT+S) and close it. This creates a correctly sized document that can be pulled with ease into Publisher. I actually use AutoHotKey to do this all with CTRL+F12 but a built in way would be nice. Proposed method: User highlights what they want. Under "File" two new menu options are present. "Save Selection As..." and "Export Selection As..." in case you want to export a SVG. This could possibly be under the "Selection" menu but saving files seems more logical under "File".

Behaviour - Text is collapsing to a single line if a style is altered and the text contains a soft enter (Shift+Enter) Steps to reproduce Create a new document. Add a text box and type some text. At the end of a line hit Shift+Enter to create a soft enter (Soft enters in Word/InDesign are used to show a line break without starting a new paragraph. It operates as expected in Publisher until you try to edit the leading override.) Apply a Text Style. For example "Body" Edit the Text Style. Character->Position & Transform->Leading Override. Default shows "0 pt" (Which is incorrect it should be displaying "Auto". Set this to anything and hit okay. Edit it again and try to return it to "0 pt" causes it to correctly collapse to "0 pt". Change to "Auto". While the drop menu is open and hovering over "Auto" it shows the expected result. However clicking on it causes it to collapse the text as if "0 pt" was selected instead. "Auto" cannot be selected no matter what I do. Windows - Affinity Publisher v1.4.1.404
