  1. At first I'd missed the instruction 'hover over the erase blend mode' and had simply applied erase blend mode. No crash appeared then but when I tried to undo the action Publisher crashed. However when I carried out the instruction to hover over the erase blend mode first the top 1/3rd of the picture partially disappears, then when the cursor is moved away without clicking, the busy icon (hourglass) appears for a short time then the program crashes. Since this I have tried it with other pictures since,and the erase function works perfectly, I can only assume that something within your art work is creating a conflict. Maybe it's because you are trying to apply a blend mode to a group of layers (if you expand your group 'crash when erase' there are about 40 layers each named Curve; any of these can have the blend mode erase applied without any crash occurring or you can select a number of these layers together and then apply the erase blend mode without Publisher crashing). see attached file below erase blend mode.afpub The Help function on Blend Mode says "Any layer or object can have a blend mode assigned, including mask and adjustment layers. The default blend mode is 'Normal'—no special compositing is applied. For a group, the default is 'Passthrough'. When set, the group itself has no special blend properties of its own, and passes on the blend mode of its parent layer. I then found that if you select the group 'crash when erase' and apply 'passthrough' first then the problem you outlined Select the group named 'crash when erase'. Click on the blend mode drop down Scroll down and hover over the erase blend mode, but do not click. Move the mouse away from the erase blend mode and application crashes. does nor occur when you hover over erase blend then move away. It only occurs when the group 'crash when erase' has been set to blend mode Add (as in your file) and then you attempt to reset it to erase Pman Asus Vivobook 15 Intel I7 processor, Intel Iris X graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 (64 bit), 32GB RAM.

  3. I don't have any problem placing a single page PDF file in a Publisher document, nor if I place multiple single page PDFs BUT I try placing a multi-page PDF file then Publisher crashes
  4. I can't replicate that. If I have several tabs open and I close the rightmost one, then focus simply changes to the tab which was previously the last but but one, exactly as I would expect.

  5. Hi I spent a little while trying to get Quick Grid to work. The help topic says Press the right/left arrow to add/remove columns and when I tried PRESSING the right key whilst drawing an object, it did NOT add a column. What I found instead is that if you TAP the right arrow whilst drawing an object, that produces an extra column for every tap you make. Hope this helps prevent some headscratching when you try it out. Now I've found the secret I look forward to drawing quick grids!

  6. Thanks Walt, I've no experience of Mac so it's nice to find some of these differences logged.
  7. But not on Windows as far as I can find and update is not found if you type it in the Search box
  8. Crashing on delete page or page1. I can't replicate problem [see below] though someone once had similar problem when they had applied multiple masters to different pages Pman Asus Vivobook 15 Intel I7 processor, Intel Iris X graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 (64 bit), 32GB RAM.

  9. As you note, it certainly isn't crashing on Publisher 1.10.5.1342 or Publisher Beta 1.10.5.1282 so tables should work fine for you now
  10. Hi Wosven, I have no trouble with changing formatting in a table or changing a format's name or applying new formats without any crashing. I've attached a publication, made using Publisher Beta, showing some table formatting examples and hopefully this might help you in some ways. table formatting.afpubtable formatting.afpub If you still find your app is crashing then Serif would appreciate you providing a crash report see below post by moderator Leigh October 1st, 2019 You may have been asked to provide a crash report when speaking with our support team. This will help them look into your issue further and hopefully allow our developers to figure out what caused the crash. Below are instructions explaining where the Crash Reports are stored on Windows Press the Windows Key + R to launch the Run dialog and enter the relevant app path: %AppData%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports\reports %AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\reports %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports\reports Our crash reports will have a filename that's made up of random alphanumeric characters and will have a .dmp extension. If you can find that report and attach it in your next post, it will be helpful to the Serif developers Another way is to go to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports\reports Pman Asus Vivobook 15 Intel I7 processor, Intel Iris X graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2 (64 bit), 32GB RAM.

  11. If you select the text, go to the paragraph tab and select Auto-hyphenation ON, the result will give you a better result With Auto-hyphenation OFF, Publisher has to try to fit the whole 'word' between backslashes onto a line [the word in this case can be quite long because individual words are being concatenated into long phrases by the underscore symbol _
  12. Ooops! Yes I was accidentally in Preview Mode. Having turned it off, everything is working well so thank you Seneca for your prompt reply and esp Joachim_L for noticing in video. Hopefully it will be of use to others to note the behaviour of text frames when one is in Preview Mode!

  13. Hi, I loaded Publisher Beta 1.10.0.1103 and wanted to check out possible crash when putting text into text frames assigned to Master pages. I selected Master pages and drew a text box on the left hand page, but as soon as I moved cursor to the right hand page and drew one there, the one on the left hand page became invisible. Using the Move tool, you can select either box but the other becomes invisible. You can link the two text boxes but the link becomes invisible invisible text boxes MP.mp4 Once I had managed to draw and link two text boxes, I then went to a double page in the publication, but again the text boxes were invisible. However they are there and linked but I can only prove that by picking the Move tool , selecting the empty text frame on the left page and inserting filler text. Also if I draw other text frames, only the last one drawn remains visible and links ,once made, become invisible invisible text frames pages.mp4 invisible text frames pages.mp4 Being unable to see text frames and links is making this Beta very difficult to use Pman Acer Aspire E51 AMD Radeon E1-7010 processor with AMD Radeon R2 Graphics, Windows 10 Home Version 20H2, 12GB RAM.

  14. Today I wanted to find a keyboard shortcut so I opened Help, typed 'shortcuts'. From the topics listed I chose Keyboard shortcuts and this page opens. Although it is possible to change from All categories to any of the other 11 categories, nothing shows up on the screen. Am I missing something?

  15. 1) It would seem that they are treated as characters because when text and emojis are selected and character size is altered the emojis also are altered. 2) Although preflight says that i) the emojis create a spelling error and ii) the characters are missing, the resultant pdf file displays them correctly. Now that preflight issue may be something Serif will need to address.
