@bbrother and @Lee D Thanks so much for your replies!

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but after my search through the forums I'm still in a quandary. While I'm moving a text frame, the text becomes slightly blurry until I stop moving it. Once the mouse stops moving, the text clears up shortly after. This visual lag also occurs when I zoom in. The text becomes blurry while transitioning zoom levels (using ctrl+mouse wheel). I have attached a video of the effect under these conditions: computer just restarted no other applications running (Afpub first app opened after start up) only 1 .afpub file open in Afpub The app is version 2.4.0. This is a new (12/23) Lenovo Legion laptop. The problem has occurred from the first installation on this computer, which I believe was 2.4.0 (but I don't remember). As for the specific specs, I'm not sure which information is relevant. It has Intel UHD graphics and RTX 4060. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about color spaces and profiles, etc. So my settings might indeed be odd. I mainly started from Print preset, which used RGB8. Here is what the document started as: But the problem still exists when I changed it to: Am I still getting the settings wrong? Thanks

Sorry for the delay in reply! I had some problems accessing the forums for a bit. I tried changing the document color from RGB to CMYK, but the exported PDF still didn't print the right color. I did do a little more testing and discovered that the color difference only occurs for objects I've used the transparency tool on. I use the transparency tool pretty frequently and have never had a noticeable difference in colors when printed from an exported PDF vs. Afpub. But that's not to say something has been off with the other documents, too. Any further insights? @stokerg When my document was RGB, the Color Space field was blank. But once I changed the document to CMYK, the Color Space field changed to "As Document."

As stated in the title, my latest exported PDF prints in a different color than when printed directly from Affinity Publisher. This is a new problem. I have attached a screenshot of my Export settings, the .afpub file, the PDF, and pics of the physical copies. I have tried the following with success: Printed the .afpub file from Afpub. Printed the exported PDF from Acrobat Reader of: a colored rectangle copied and pasted from the original file into a new file a colored rectangle from the rulebook a colored rectangle from my file concurrently with a colored rectangle from the rulebook all the above with a colored rectangle with a transparent gradient I have tried the following with failure: Printed the original exported PDF from Acrobat Reader. Printed the exported PDF from MS Edge. I copied and pasted all the contents of the original afpub file into a new project, exported it, and printed it from Acrobat Reader. I tested these combinations exhaustively, with undoubtedly superfluous combinations, but I wanted to be quite sure before I posted. I have NOT tested this from a different printer, but as this problem is new to me, and I have the same printer, I don't think that's the problem. Please help! GWT_Example.afpub GWT NZ Test 12.pdf

Upon even further experimentation and failed trials, I discovered (I think for real this time) the reason for my problem. I had changed the bullet from the default (Arial?) to Consolas. That threw off the line spacing once I'd applied that bullet paragraph style. Doh! Thx for all the responses.

I think my problem also involves using bullets from a different font than the native one. Thx for the link!

In turning on the baseline grid to check what was going on, there was an extra line before the bulleted list entry! I turned off Align to Baseline Grid and, voila, my problem was solved! TY! Edit 1: Make that, mostly solved. There are still some problematic lines, but I'm MUCH closer to a solution! Edit 2: Align to Baseline Grid was NOT the problem.

Do you mean the Leading setting? In writing replies and investigating more, I have a clearer question. I had hoped/thought that using "Default" for the Leading setting in the Paragraph menu would yield equal line spacing regardless of whether the line is plain text, numbered, or bulleted. Instead it creates extra line spacing above a bulleted list entry, compared to plain text or numbered list entries. Am I misunderstanding the "Default" setting? Is there some setting to get the behavior I desire? Or is this the programmed behavior and is unchangeable? I understand that a workaround is to use the Exactly leading setting in the paragraph menu, but it becomes tedious when I want to make document-wide changes using Paragraph & Text Styles. I'm hoping there's a better solution out there. Thx!

I can't find a "Space between styles" setting in the Paragraph tab. I see a "Space between SAME style." If you meant that setting, toggling it on and setting it to 0 does not solve the problem. I wouldn't expect it to, since these are separate styles. Am I missing something?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I didn't mean spacing surrounding the bullet. I meant line spacing. I want the list entries to all be the same distance from each other.

I have been having trouble with extra line spacing above bulleted entries. This is particularly troublesome for me when switching from numbered to bulleted lists. I used paragraph styles for the following example. Edit: I am using Default leading spacing. I don't have the problem when I use the Exactly Xpt font. But to change that every time I change the size of the text style would be rough.

Affinity Publisher, v2.2.0, Windows 10 Home While text wrapping works correctly/as expected with masked objects, only wrapping around the visible part, when the masked object is part of a group, text wrapping applied to the group does not work correctly. The expected behavior would be to have the text wrap the masked portion only, the same as before. Instead, when you apply text wrapping to a group with a masked object in it, the text wraps around the original size of the masked image, as if it were unmasked. This bug is reproducible and occurs with new documents. I have attached a screen capture of the problem. The "Group (Text Wrap)" has the text wrap on. Nothing else has text wrap applied to it. (I couldn't get the xbox game bar to capture the Text Wrap panel.) Affinity Publisher Example.mp4 Example.afpub

Oh. I entered the bug anyways. The squeaky wheel gets the grease?

I just checked the file and there were only 2 separate instances of text wrapping of a group within a group. I turned off the text wrapping at the sublayers and the problem still existed.
