Oh wow, thanks so much. That worked for me.

I need step away from my computer for a couple of hours. I will check back later. Thanks for your help.

Thanks. I was able to delete the phone number and email address so I think it's ok to upload now. I made a video showing the problem. At first I am selecting and editing things like normal. Then I move a group of images off page to the left side (the image that is a chain of children holding hands) afterwards I try selecting various boxes. Several can no longer be selected but some still can. I'll upload the vid and the packaged document minus the fonts. Thanks for your help. Screen Recording 2023-10-13 at 10.39.41.mov Happy Days.zip

I made a recording of the issue and I've saved the relevant pages in a separate document and the issue persists in the new document. I was about to upload them to this thread but I realised that there is some private info, someone's phone number and email address, that I shouldn't upload to a public forum. Is there some other way to share the files with you so I'm not posting them on a public forum? Thanks.

I will add that at the same time as the text/picture boxes became uneditable, all my tools and palettes disappeared. I had to go and switch them all back on again, which was odd.

Hi there, I am having this issue in Affinity Publisher 2.2.0 on my Macbook M2 chip. I'm working on a multipage document/magazine and suddenly text boxes and picture boxes have become uneditable on one of the pages. I can see the outline of the boxes but I can't select them. It's almost as though they've been flattened into the background image. It's very frustrating. Is there a way around it? It starts with one box and then the ones around it also become un-selectable. I have tried undoing steps until the boxes work again but it's only a temporary fix. Within a few steps they become un-selectable again. Next I am going to try undoing enough steps until the boxes work and then recreating the affected spread and deleting the buggy one. I'm very concerned my whole document will become useless as I've put a lot of work into it at this point and I have a deadline looming. If anyone else has some tips I'd be grateful. Thanks,
