Such problems are not reproducible on demand. They happen very often when the program is running for a very long time. And when the program is running but not active because I'm working in other programs. Other problems occur when the program is minimized in the system tray and is expanded. Regarding these problems, the program was running for more than 4 hours. I was working in other programs from time to time. And when I returned to place objects in Publisher, I got this. There are no specific steps. But these things happen often for the reasons I described above. I think that to reproduce this in a new file, you should load it, add at least 20 pages, create a dozen styles, add 2-3 complex vector objects per page, text frames with decorations. Also cross-references, several master pages applies to page. And work in the program for a long time. Then problems will arise.

Here is video and another bug. It is a vector object. At the 36th second, the object is hidden behind the text frame (or it only seems), but it is transparent. At second 50, I hid the text layer, but it disappeared only after zooming. The orange rectangles on the screen are the text decoration 2024-05-12 19-06-59.mp4

I don't think it has anything to do with files. I have had similar things in many files. I can't share them yet.

Publisher 2.4.2 has performance issues. 1. I selected an object and deleted it. It remained on the page. 2. I hid a text frame in the Layers panel, but it remains on the page. 3. I dragged the frame with the image. The outline of the frame moved, but everything else remained in place. These artifacts happen until you scale the page.

Unpin text frames first, and then you can move them.

You should know, even better than the moderators). It's a joke, of course.

This is the same problem you wrote about in another thread. It has not been resolved yet.

Here is And original topic

Why do you need any additional information when it's a known problem? And the moderator who liked your post should have known that. This is a problem when you rotate the text frame by 90 degrees. It is not selected. I reported this issue earlier.

Compare reinstalling Windows and Linux. Reinstalling Linux is a breeze once you've created a /home partition for your documents. You don't have to worry about losing your documents and don't have to make a backup copy. When installing, you only need to enter a different username in the /home partition and do not format the /home disk during installation. And then copy all the data from the old folder to the new one. And all the settings are in place. This is not possible with Windows.

I have Windows and several Linux distributions on one computer. I experimented a lot. Linux is friendly to other operating systems. If you install Linux first, and then Windows on another partition, Windows will overwrite the boot sectors and references to Linux. If you do it the other way around, you'll get a menu where you can choose which system you want to work with - Windows or Linux.

I've been using Linux since 2006, when everything was very difficult and there were problems with drivers. Today I have tried many Linux distributions - Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Manjaro and many others. I used to prefer Ubuntu, but after they switched to Gnome 3 by default, I changed to Linux Mint. Even on old machines, Mint works great. I also worked on Windows - from 95 to windows 10. Now I use Windows 10 only because I need Affinity programs, and Affinity version 2 don't work on windows 7. I also worked on Macs of different versions. If I compare all three systems, Linux is the most flexible. You can turn it into both Windows and Mac, which is what you are used to. You can keep only the programs you want. There is no unnecessary advertising. Only what you like.

Why do you take a phrase out of context when you quote it? It reads like this: If you look only at the Stroke panel width field, you get nonsense.

@Sean P It seems another error. The width is not blocked if you simply put a point on the line and click block if this line has already been blocked before. That is, the line width is not calculated in real time. 2024-05-09 17-38-21.mp4

I mean that the width of the line in both cases needs to be distinguished. The “clean” width that appears in the Stroke panel and the “pressed” width. There must be another parameter. If you look only at the Stroke panel width field, you get nonsense. Or an asterisk on the side, an exclamation point - which would mean that the line width was changed by another tool.

Thank you. It worked now. I was just resizing with the mouse, but I need to do it in the panel.

I don't understand how to do this.

Great. Thanks. But how works Make same? It also changes position.

The “=” sign changes the position of the object by resizing it I don't want the objects to move when I resize them, but to stay in their places. The same problem is shown by Make same if there is a key object 2024-05-09 16-06-14.mp4

I cannot change width of all lines. 2024-05-09 14-21-11.mp4

I understand that no one is testing this tool anymore, as it has a lot of flaws. Even based on common logic. How to get a program crash. 2024-05-09 12-15-01.mp4

@Sean PAre you saying that these two lines have the same width of 100 pt, as shown in the Stroke panel? Are you serious?

But what is the real width of the stroke? Which line shows the true width?

You can't see it visually. That's why I say that the Pressure scale should be a panel and in a prominent place.

And one more argument. I have a 50-point line. I will add one point and change it at this point. I'll lock the width on the panel at 285.7 pts, and return the width of this point to its previous position. That is, in reality, my line has a width of 50 points, and on the panel I see what? Next. I'll draw another line with a width of 50 points. Compare these lines and what do I see? One is 50 points width and the other is 285.7 points width. How is this possible? They are the same. 2024-05-08 22-04-57.mp4
