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.

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.

We have another thread where we've agreed that there's a speed bug with the Text Styles panel - Serif hasn't had an opportunity to confirm it yet but it's likely what you're encountering.
It seems that turning off hierarchical styles and samples in the Text Styles panel allows you to work at normal speed. Alternatively, quitting and restarting Publisher will resolve it.
Good luck

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.

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.

I have seen some other threads similar. I have some problems with Publisher becoming more and more laggy as the session progresses. Starts ok if I have started up Mac from scratch. App works ok. Over time the app becomes very laggy. The main issue is typing into text boxes, the actual text takes a second or two before 'catching up' in the box. Other general drags / drops etc also slow up.
I get that this is a new release and fully understand there will be some early fixes to come. Im ok with that but just flagging this as it is becoming a sense of urgency issue for me. Thanks.

It’s hard for QA to keep track of the status of multiple issues if you report them in a single thread. Please create a new topic for any issues apart from the first one.

Same. I get a crash every time i try dragging any page to reorder or dragging a master page. Crashes everytime so application currently unusable. Only happens since latest update to 1.7.0.270. Running on MacBook  MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 16GB 3.1GHz.

Auto update worked great
