Open the file and go to the layers menu. Check to see if anywhere inside layers is a "Master A" layer. I've noticed that a Master A is created as a layer in new files. If you find a Master A layer, delete that layer. Save the file and try the steps again, select all, copy and paste and see what happens. I'm wondering if a Master layer in a selected group might somehow conflict when pasting back into itself.

I was just trying to identify the location of the settings mentioned by fde101 above. Sorry if I created any confusion.

For anyone else who struggled to find the correct location for these settings : )

In a default Mac selection box, when the user clicks into a cell to insert the typing cursor, the frame around the cell turns blue making that cell active (see attachment). Now hitting the return key activates the default behavior, in this case closing the dialogue box. In Affinity's software, when a cursor is inserted into a cell, that cell does not turn blue, but after the first return the cell turns blue, becomes active, and then the second return triggers the default behavior of that dialogue box. It appears that all 3 Affinity products behave in the same manner. Is this a design choice?

I find that if I select the "Table Tool" right before I want to work in a table, then click into the cell, editing seem to work as expected.

If I click on the little red eye that shows additional text and then click on the bottom center or right center node, the frame expands to fit the text on my Mac. Running Publisher version 1.7.0.238

I'm running MacOS 10.14.2 and have no problem duplicating pages either right clicking or using the duplicate button. Both produce the same expected results.

Another option, go to the history tab and scroll back until you find two deletes together. Pick a history state before the first delete, revert to that state and "save as" with a slightly new name. Again, see what happens.

Open the file. Go to the File menu and uncheck "Save History With Document". Save the file. Close the file and reopen. See what happens.

Publisher versions 221 & 227. Using Text Frame, I can no longer change the left and top indents using the arrow keys. Right and bottom work correctly. Values can be manually inserted but arrows are not responding.

That is exactly the information I was looking for. I don't think I ever noticed the red connection symbol before. Thanks.

I've watched that tutorial several times, it does not address unlinking or moving text frames after they have been created.

How do you manage linked text frames? For example, unlink text frames or move a link from one frame to another?

If you are on a Mac running High Sierra you might try the following ... Export your Affinity Photo document as a Photoshop file .psd. Open that file in the Mac's Preview application. From Preview go to the file menu and down to Export to PDF. When I did this on a test file the result was a pdf doc showing version 1.3 This may introduce other issues and may not ultimately helpful, but I thought I'd pass it along anyway. Good Luck : )

TheOtherRoland: If you go to System Preferences and create a new Admin account, log out and then reenter the newly created account, does the problem still exist when you launch the Affinity app?

I use Apple's standard Proxy icons every day. They have multiple uses, one of those being to quickly identify a files path. Most users will have files saved in any number of locations, so access to the files proxy icon is a real time saver. Please consider adding Apple's Proxy icons to Affinity documents. Examples attached.

Affinity Designer 1.5.5 - is there a quick and easy way to change or convert a Frame Text box into an Artistic Text box? Yes I could copy paste content into a new new text box, but I'm just wondering if there is a built in conversion option I'm not seeing.
