Thank you. I did all that and it may have helped. I will let you know if it starts up again. Thanks

I am an idiot and don't remember doing that. However, I found backup codes and was able to get myself fixed. Thank you.

Thanks, it is EVERYWHERE, including my apps that I had access to on an old computer. I have emailed affinity support but I am not sure they will answer because I used the general email address. Thanks again.

Thank you. I have a couple of authenticators; however, I have never connected Affinity to them so none of the generated codes works. I never asked or 2FA why am I having to do this? I can't install to my new computer because of it. I won't be able to use any of my apps now. Is there a way to cancel 2FA? Thanks for your help. You are always great.

I am being asked for a code to login to Affinity website. I don't have a code. It tells me to use my device - WTheck??? Gad. I just need to get my keys. This is irritating. I don't recall setting up 2-factor. Help Please...

Thanks. I'm pretty sure it isn't any of that - I wish it was. This happens on every document. I decided to use the beta version instead. It doesn't seem to do it. Time will tell. I really appreciate the time you took to give some ideas. If it happens again, I will come back here and connect with you.

I will be working along and at some point in every publication, images, text boxes and shapes suddenly disappear. You can see that they are stlll there because their bounding boxes show up when you click on them. I will be editing text and it wont change but if I click in the frame and choose CTRL A you can see that the text is still there and has been edited (at least the shape of the text shows a change, but there is nothing there visually). It is maddening. I think it may have to do with RAM? It doesn't do this to any other software. I really need to stop it. It basically makes Publisher unusable.

Oh THANK YOU!

Thank you very much. This worked, so I am happy - and yet, a little confused at my memory... I feel like I always did it differently before by being able to select just the shape and clicking on the stroke color and turning it off.

I have searched high and low for how to remove the stroke line in text on path in affinity publisher 2.5. I only find old articles and questions. Geez, man has walked on the moon.

I don't have third party drives. I have used several mice(?) One is USB and the other two are Bluetooth also the trackpad was no different. I think one of the mice was high dpi. I did just install the 2.4 beta and it seems to work. The cursor is visible before I click. I hope the beta works well in other aspects because the other way was unusable. I appreciate your help. Thank you, Kelley

Gee, sorry, I think I may have answered but then did the post thinking I did it wrong. Windows 11 AFPUB 2.3.0. I also tried turning off and on Open CL, to no avail. I also reinstalled. Thanks

It seemed to happen at upgrade. Weeks ago.

I thought the following worked, but it didn't when editing data merge. Darn!

My “trails” were not enabled, and so I am still struggling with no pointer to show me where I am at. It ONLY happens in affinity. Somebody, anybody????? HELP

This only happens in Affinity. I didn't find any relief doing anything different in the system mouse settings. Help — it is really making Publisher unusable.

Thanks, 2.3.0 Windows 11

Freezing after using for a while Freezing when merging data my cursor is invisible until I click on the page - I have to guess where to click Can anyone advise why these things are happening? This is unusable.

This is a bummer... if you don't use a keyboard and want to draw in affinity with a stylus.

Can somebody please figure this out? I have the same problem. I don'thave anything in that list above, and I have attached a screenshot of my performance preferences. I am about to spend 500 on Corel...please, please don't make me do that. Furthermore, I have a Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11 professional.

If there is no style set on a text block, it automatically uses Arial. How do I change that? I have no choice upon selecting it to "update to match" or "edit."

I find that this feature is badly designed - what a disappointment. I have reset and reinstalled - to no avail. Now, I don't have any text styles... I love that all three affinity programs are connected, but publisher has quirks in the areas I need it to not be quirky. I also grow tired of fighting the TOC and will move on to another software.

I added my own Heading 1 & 2 - they didn't update the way I wanted them to in the TOC (heading 2 would not indent under H1) I cleared out all styles not used, and then I only had the two "No Style" left. I tried making the two mentioned, but they would not even populate the TOC, so I reset the whole program via control/start. I thought the reset would have the program's default text styles, and it had nothing but the no style ones. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled - no joy. I had to go back to Quarkxpress as I am on a deadline but would love to use AFPUB. Can anyone help me get the text styles to work properly?

Oh, for the love - I just saw the file I uploaded earlier - what a moron I am. You have been very patient...

Yep - that was it. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this for me. I can't tell you how much it helped. I LOVE Affinity and how I can go from publisher to design to photo from one app. I wanted to avoid having to go back to something else. Have a great day!
