Are you using the latest release version?
yes, 2.0.4 -
Can you reproduce it?
- Create a new design
- Add text with text style 'Heading 1'
- Add other text on a new line with text style 'Body'
- 'Find' with regex expressions on
- Change in 'Find/Settings/Format/Character/' the 'Font weight' to Bold
- Search for `.*` : it works
- Search for `.*$` (end $): it works
- Search for `^.*` (start ^): it crashes
- Does it happen for a new document? Yes
- If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following:
- I tried switching hardware performance on and off - it still crashes
In the meantime: are there other workarounds to find bold text ONLY if it is in the beginning of a line/paragraph?

Affinity Publisher V2 Crashes when using Find with regular expressions

Thanks Old Bruce, that's a very good point!
My real use case is more complex than .*, but using + in place of * where appropriate fixes the crashes
It creates another issue though: I'm searching for bold text in a particular paragraph style (Body), if the bold text is 'alone' in the line:
My Bold Text
everything works as expected, if the bold text precedes normal text:
My Bold Text: Other non bold text
It appears in the 'Find' results, but I can't click the result / clicking doesn't do anything - it doesn't jump to it in the file; clicking 'Replace' also doesn't do anything
