When I click a Page as it is displayed in the Page Manager, in the Left Column, the page is not displayed in the editor. Apparently, to get the page displayed in the editor, I have to double click the page in the Page Manager. This behaviour is out of the ordinary as considerig almost all other applications require a simple single click to pull up and focus on the item clicked in the left column manager. In other words, Go To Spread should be a single click.

I apologize, I have tried to screen capture and example but am unable to do so. I use Windows 10, 64 bit and to make the mouse pointer more visible I changed it to a large white pointer with a black outline. When the ToolTip (POP-UP) appears, generally the first three to five characters are covered over by the mouse and the mouse must be wiggled vigorously to see these characters and sometimes I need to back off and try again to get a slightly different placement for the ToolTip so that it is less obscured by the Mouse Pointer. It would seem to me that the displacement could be made programmable, thus one could choose 5 to 10 pixels diagonally and the ToolTip would be completely legible. I continue to like the product design and look forward to the release. Cheers

One of the current features in Publisher is that when hovering your mouse/pointer over a tool icon a POP-UP assistant presents text to tell you what the tool does. Unfortunately the text is hidden behind the mouse/pointer and I cannot read it. It would be better if the text POP-UP was displaced 10 to 30 pixels from the mouse/pointer so that it can be read.

How do I change the Icon Hover Text Popups offset, so that the text is not obscured or hidden behind the icon where I cannot read it?

How do I set the default page size to Letter. I live in North America and do not use A4.

I agree with your assessment. As the problem is not repeatable it becomes impossible to figure out the root cause. My use of emf filetypes is recent, in that Office 2010 does not support svg, 2016 does though.

I created them with InkScape, native format svg, and exported as emf. I sent the emf and svg to a company to have them put the images on T-Shirts. At the time, everything was fine, and I believe the T-Shirt people used the SVG files to do the work. On Windows, I opened a couple of emf files with Affinity Designer and Windows decided that it would associate all emf filetypes with Affinity Designer. I thought, what they heck, why not. I opened the emf files just now with InkScape and they are upside down in InkScape now too. I opened the svg files and they appear fine. I changed the file association back to InkScape and although the file icon did not revert to InkScape, when double clicked, InkScape opened the files, and they are still upside down. Years of experience with IrfanView has taught me that it will successfully open all kinds of image filetypes, possibly recovering damaged files and sometimes identifying files that do not have the correct filetype and then fixing it, automagically. I suppose there must be some subtle bit that gets set one way or another to indicate for the image which way is up and that through some kind of magic IrfanView can infer the correct orientation regardless of that bit? I don't know if this is a bug, or maybe the stuff that InkScape produces is wrong?

Actually, they were not attachments, I simply pasted them into the editor, same as my typing here. The images appeared as expected but when I clicked on Post, no satisfaction.

Strange, I did a screen capture (actually a small section) using FastStone Capture and pasted the clipboard into the editor and that's when I got the message. I was not pasting an emf filetype, I was pasting the clipboard.

Thank you. I uploaded two files to the Dropbox link you provided. Cheers

I have the latest version of Affinity Designer, 1.5.3.69, Windows 10 - 64 bit. All the emf filetype images I open are displayed upside down. In irfanview and PaintShop Pro and various other apps the same images appear right side up. I exported an emf file from Affinity Designer and it opens the proper way, right side up. I suspect this is a bug. I have tried to paste two sample images of this problem a couple of times and I keep getting the following error in the header, "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." What does this mean? Why can I not add sample images of my problem? This would seem to negate the usefulness of this forum, no?
