To delete the Picture Frame, edit the Master Page detached on the page you want to remove the Picture Frame from. Instructions to enter Detached mode: https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Pages/detachLinkMasterPages.html Another option — one I usually prefer — would be to create multiple Master Pages so you don’t have to edit Master Pages detached.

Can you provide a file that is displaying the behavior you described?

To quickly change the color of objects that you created and assigned colors to (i.e., vector objects, text, etc…. not a photo), I would use global colors so that the colors can easily be changed. https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/pages/Clr/globalClr.html

There are several aspects of selecting a single line that I find quicker and easier than starting the selection at the end of the previous line, and I didn’t previously have to delete a line break after pasting. Due to the number of times I perform the copy/paste action, relatively minor inconveniences have a fairly significant impact on my workflow.

Thanks @thomaso. I’ve been making the selection in the way you suggested since the issue started occurring. I perform this type of copy/paste frequently when working with one particular document, so the extra effort it takes to select and then delete the line break in the pasted content is frustrating. Hopefully the Serif devs can identify and correct the issue.

In Affinity Publisher, I used to be able to select a line of text that has a pinned image in front of it, and copy/paste the text and image. This is no longer the case — images that are in front of text are not included in the copy/paste. Pinned images that have characters before them are included; only images in front of text are not included. I do some work that requires me to copy/paste text with pinned images in front many times, so this is a big problem for me. Are others experiencing this issue? Example document attached.

Do your TOC text styles have the font set to Segeo Script?

To show the Context Toolbar, in the Menu Bar: View > Show Context Toolbar.

@George Moulos In your original post, the Curve layer (donut shape) is clipped to the Text layer. Clipping produces the result that you got — the donut Curve layer is only visible in the area of the text. A Layer Mask is different than clipping. To add a vector mask, in the Layers panel, drag the mask shape onto the thumbnail of the target layer. Layer masking https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Layers/LayerMasks.html Layer clipping https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Layers/layerClip.html A Layer Mask will produce results opposite of what you want to achieve — the text layer will only be visible in the donut shape. One option is to create a pixel selection of the donut vector shape and create a pixel mask on the text layer to hide it.

No, it has not been resolved.

V2.2, currently in beta. Edit: After posting, I looked more closely at the OP. I don’t know if the HSL picker is different than the standard color picker.

The Image layer must be rasterized in order for Merge Selected to be enabled. Right-click the Image layer and select Rasterize — the Image layer becomes a Pixel layer, and now when the two layers are selected you will have the option to Merge Selected.

I agree. I created my post in the Bugs forum because I couldn’t imagine it being intended behavior. Evidently, I should have posted it as a feature request.

@bbrother I posted about a related issue almost a year ago. The way Table of Contents links are created in Publisher produces the same results that you described… clicking a TOC link may take you to the wrong location on the destination page. I didn’t understand the root cause in my original post, but user kenmcd explained that TOC links use X/Y position of the current view instead of Named Destination. The issue creates a poor user experience in PDFs created with Publisher. I hope Serif considers addressing this.

For me (on Windows 10), the Swatches panel highlights a swatch if it is applied to the selected object, but color pickers in other areas — like the Context Toolbar, Text Styles, etc. — do not indicate the swatch that is applied. Can you see a highlighted swatch in the Swatches panel? I’ve been meaning to post a feature request… I would like all color pickers to indicate the applied swatch.

@v_kyr You beat me to it. 🙂 Maybe the Aliases aren’t relevant… I haven’t set up another app to open Affinity files.

It sounds like you used the MSIX installers. This post provides the location of the App Execution Alias: Alternatively, if you want to install the MSI/EXE:

If I start editing the document/canvas size but forgot to disable Lock Aspect Ratio, I have to cancel and start over. This issue effects the following: Document Setup (Designer) Resize Canvas (Photo) Resize Document (Photo) Steps to observe the issue: Bring up the dialog to edit the dimensions of the document or canvas. With the Aspect Ratio locked (which it is be default), change the value of the width or height. Click the Aspect Ratio icon to disable it. The edit made in the previous step is committed. If the Aspect Ratio is unlocked to begin with, clicking the Aspect Ratio icon does not commit edits made to the dimensions. In the Transform panel, clicking the Lock Aspect Ratio icon does not commit edits made to the width or height — it doesn’t matter if Lock Aspect Ratio is enabled or disabled.

@crownfield The people who have commented would like to help, but the information you've provided is confusing and vague, and you're not providing the information that people have requested that will enable them to understand the issue.

To add to what Oufti mentioned, I use Text Styles in any file that has text. I find it much easier to manage the appearance of text with Text Styles.

Are you using Text Styles or the Paragraph panel to style your text? I don’t understand what you mean by… Can you advise which features/panels you’re using and provide clearer detains about the issue you’re having. A screenshot showing the entire Affinity UI, including the Layers panel and the panel you’re using to style the text would be helpful.

I have to keep at least one of the Affinity v1 apps installed because there’s an issue with the v2 apps and the Windows 10 File Explorer preview pane.

The Erase Brush Tool was my first thought as well. It looks like the "Solutions Begin On The Next Page" text was merged with the page curl layer for some reason — if you used the Erase Brush Tool, I'm guessing you used it on the page curl layer before merging it with the text. Alternatively, I suppose you could have masked the text before erasing... it would have been a lot of work to erase around the text.
