Thanks for the comprehensive advise. something to consider.

Walt - Sonoma 14.1 - On a new Nov 23 MacBook Apple M3, 18GB. Mike - Thanks for your input. I get what you're saying and to be honest I haven't used it on other MacBook apps so no experience of issues elsewhere. Its a pain but maybe I have to live with it for now. I guess it would help the workaround if you could mark the entire list 'ignore' each time instead on one by one. Maybe I need to also learn some of these words to reduce the issue. Not ideal but maybe helps productivity. I guess there isn't an option to learn to a dedicated document dictionary? Would be useful especially when writing technical docs.

I have a few projects that have spell check concluded. However i get a recurring issue that the ‘ignore’ words previously registered reappear on frequent occasions. Cant pinpoint what triggers this. Words learnt remain learnt but those set to ‘ignore’ seem to reappear after a day or two.

I managed to recover the file with only a few edits missing. Couldn't save. Therefore managed to do a save-as, then back up the file. I couldn't do this in my first experience of this problem as the file became corrupt. With this project I seem to have caught it early and therefore grabbed a backup. I have now deleted my original and will be using the saved-as version. Thanks for the help Mike. Regards Neil.

I had to restart the file after this issue which took about a week to catch up. I have since started making backups of the Wii file. However I have had the same problem now on a new project new file. The difference is I managed to 'save as' the recovery file before getting to the totally corrupt point.

Thank you. I have uploaded the file.

I had a series of issues with Publisher after the update where saving a file was problematic. I would get an unable to save message then publisher closed. I was ok when opening as the recovery file would open. However last attempt it didn't prompt for recovery. I get a message that the file is open in another app, despite this not being the case (Mac shutdown along with all apps to prove). The backup file states format not supported. This is a disaster as it has 2-3 weeks work on a project. Any help appreciated. Publisher 2.1.1. Macbook Ventura 13.4.1

Actually checked an it isnt. Im not sure if the laggy behaviour of text entry and text styles has been acknowledged as an issue to solve. My confidence is dropping on V2 and have reverted to all V1 apps again. V2 unusable for me right now.

Anyone know if this is fixed in the latest updated 0.3

Yes i have laggy text box entry and also the beach ball for ages when scrolling text styles. Makes this unusable. Issue remains even with brightness option turned off.

Yeah its odd. But I have them side by side now as I have documents on V2 that I can't re-open in V1 and also I just started a document that I shifted to V1 before I went to far. Cut / Paste. The documents are same but clearly im seeing a performance gap between the two. From opening documents which takes longer in V2, some lag on text entry to a frame to the spinning beachball on many functions and specifically long delay on the text styles. Odd but unusable for me.Im hoping we see a first patch update soon.

Yeah the more I work in Affinity Publisher 2 the more laggy and slow it becomes and in fact it crashes or gives a spinning beachball for ages every time I access the text styles list. Definitely I have to unfortunately regress to Affinity 1 until a fix is released. Are bugs picked up here or in a ticket? Is there a way to open or export V2 files in V1

Thanks However it is still an issue. Seems to get worse the more im using the app. I think I will need to revert to Affinity v1 as this is now really slowing my workflow.

OK so turned hardware acceleration off, but the more I use the app the more I find it laggy still. In fact the coloured ball rotates for ages while scrolling the text styles and sometimes when selecting menu options. Right now I fear it is unusable.

Thanks guys. Also will try the performance setting. Mac OS BigSur 11.3, 2GHz Quad Core, i5, 16GB.
