Hi everybody
Not new to Affinity (used also Serif Software long ago 😊) but new to the forum.
I signed in for the forum, because I have exact the same problem as described in the thread.
I did everything that was suggested in here ... nothing helped. It even got worse.
Last Version that was installed on my computer was V1.9.2 ...
The only way I could resolve it, at least for the moment, is that I remembered, that it definitely was not like that, when I bought the software and started using and exploring it and after hours trying, I reinstalled the first version that I have again and that is: V1.8.5.703 ...
Right away the problem disappeared.
And I do have to add, that the problem is not in the newest Affinity Designer (V1.9.2) but I do not know about Publisher, as I do not use Publisher at the moment.
Best Regards, Claude Michael Merz
