This has happened to me in just about any lengthy publication I create. I'm doing a multi-page two-column layout with tables interspersed when after a few hours of working and some squeezing in new paragraphs into older content I suddenly notice that a random table from the middle of the document has utterly vanished. I know that sometimes the pin stays and the table has been vaulted off the page into the ether... but I don't know how to find those pins since they seem to only be visible when a given table is selected. I'll poke around and see if I can flip on all widgets and find the runaway table, but this is really ridiculous. Let me put some pseudocode here for the devs: If a table is pinned, and the pins moves such that the calculated geometry pushes the table completely off the page such that is it wholly invisible: KEEP IT ON THE DAMN PAGE WHERE THE PIN IS. Just put it in the corner closest to it's errant off-the-planet calculated position. The author will grab it and tuck it somewhere else. Seriously. Don't make your users completely break flow and spend forever dicking around trying to find an object that should have never left the page constraints in the first place. This is basic behavior that separates professional software from wannabees.

Thank you, folks. The subtle error was most maddening!

Wonky Page Number on page 9.afpub I've stripped out all the content of this document, and the page # on page 9 (page 11, really) insists that it needs to duck down a couple lines for some unknown reason. I tried re-creating this document from scratch, with brand new master pages, then slowly copied text content and then image content. And this happens again... although it was on a slightly different page when I re-created the document. Any clues? I've spent way too much time trying to figure out why the hell Affinity Publisher is doing this idiotic stuff.
