[Crash on opening idml template]

Template is attached (it's available as free download at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/295890/Jonstown-Compendium-Templates). When I open it in Affinity Publisher, the app immediately crash.

• Affinity Publisher 1.10.5
• Windows 11

[Broken UI on Windows 11]

• App: 1.10.4
• OS/HW: Windows 11, NVIDIA RTX3080.
• Renderer: tested both hardware acceleration and WARP

When I hover over any UI elements, they become completely broken / obscured by glitches.  

This bug is reproduced on all Affinity Suite apps (Designer, Photo, Publisher) and affects both renderers.

Update: found a solution in another thread. You need to open Windows Services and Stop+Disable "Nahimic Service". I don't even have any ASUS/MSI hardware, no idea where it comes from.

[[Solved] Publisher - Ruler above text frame]

Solved: It's a known issue of .556 beta build.

Somehow I enabled this ruler above text and have no idea how to disable it. I even tried to reset Publisher settings but this annoying thing is still there 😓

There is "Show text ruler" in the View menu but it's already unticked.

[Windows build-in spellchecker]

For some reason Affinity Publisher only supports English and few other European languages instead of using Windows 10 build-in spellchecker (like most modern software do).

It's really annoying to use external editor for spellchecking (Russian) and then copy-paste text to Publisher.
