@Dazmondo77 - Thanks, I see it. It is logged and under discussion.

Hi @PeterB. We've just issued another update that we hope will fix these issues.

We've withdrawn this build in favour of build 1024.

We've withdrawn this build in favour of build 1024.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of this, I don't know if anyone else is. We will have to look into it.

Thanks. Someone will be along to discuss this if we need more information.

We've tried to be a bit more prompt with getting things onto auto-update recently. It looks like you caught it between the auto-update going live and the forum post being updated.

Agreed. It looks like this issue has not yet been addressed on Windows fully.

I see you have made separate threads for these issues, thank you. It looks like we are still liaising with you to reliably reproduce and determine root causes.

Re: Bleed for place artboards - You should find if you place an artboard from a Designer document the placed object's bounding box now changes to include the bleed area or not when selecting which page box should be used (e.g. from the context toolbar).
