Hi Puck,
This is a known bug. I'll give the original report a nudge. Thank you. 

View at 100% zoom in Develop Persona to see the previewed sharpening as it will be. The same applies to live filters in the Photo Persona. If zoom is less than 100% then live filters will be misleadingly exaggerated because they will be operating on a reduced scale version of the document.

Try this: Turn the lens correction off (if it is on, of course). The lens correction corrects lens distortion, and it may happen that something is "cut off" from the edge. If you turn off lens correction, the result should look exactly like your original RAW file. I don't know if that solves your problem, but I think it's worth a try. 

Hi All,
Thanks for the help and interest so far!
I just did a few more tests to try and isolate the issue.
First, it appears that the program crashes mainly when I have the move tool active while I use cmd+c to copy the layer.
The conflict appears to be coming from keyboard maestro (8.2.4) , and so I was able to solve that issue in keyboard maestro preferences > Excluded > The following applications are excluded from the clipboard history unless you explicitly read the clipboard. I then added Photo to that excluded list.
This made it so that my steps outlined in the first post no longer cause a crash; however, I haven't been able to test this more thoroughly with other files.
It still seems like there could be some sort of bug present based on what Puck and madflute (from the other thread) have described.

See screenshot

Probably today or tomorrow (April 2 or 3) according to the announcement in the news section.

I'm afraid we've not got a fix for this issue yet. I have updated the issue on our end. 

I see. Thank you very much for the prompt information.

There is a new paragraph on the bottom of each Mac announcement (above) that explains this. There are no real changes to mention in Publisher, so the thread title has been adjusted to match

<EDITED> Please note, Affinity Publisher 1.8.2 for Mac is now live so this thread is locked </EDITED>
We are pleased to announce a major update for the macOS release of Affinity Publisher, version 1.8.1
Changes in this build
The changes in Affinity Publisher for macOS 1.8.1 (made since the last release Affinity Publisher on macOS 1.7.3) are as follows:
 New Features & Improvements:
Template support – save documents as template files to re-use time and time again, share templates across all apps and even access files on multiple devices through cloud storage. New document dialog – it’s now simpler than ever to find, create and manage document presets with customised, saveable presets and thumbnail previews. Unified toolbar – thanks to the integration of window controls and the app’s main toolbar, Mac users (Mojave and above) can now enjoy more usable document space. Updated PANTONE© library – work with a seemingly endless range of colours, including updated PANTONE© Color Bridge and PANTONE© Formula Guide solid palettes (coated and uncoated). IDML import – import InDesign® IDML files, including all text styles, master pages, guides, pinned objects and more, directly into Affinity Publisher. Live preflight checking – customise the app’s all new Preflight panel to receive live warnings for possible errors in your document, including poor image resolution, bleed hazards, overflowing text, spelling errors, missing images or font resources, and more. XLSX import – import spreadsheet data from Excel, Apple Numbers or LibreOffice in XLSX format as a standalone table or inline with your text frames. Document merge – merge multiple documents together into a single file and take advantage of text style mapping, index merging and master page control, whether you’re combining whole documents or selecting page ranges to import. Smart master pages – effortlessly swap master pages and migrate edited content from any page to a new master page layout in a single click without losing any of your work in the process. Collect resources – organise all image resources into a single folder location and share with others in your network. New Anchors panel – easily manage anchors in your document and create new ones from selected text. Apple keyboard shortcuts for text editing —use Apple default keyboard shortcuts for text editing and entry for an even more streamlined workflow Text column dividing lines – add lines to separate columns in text frame settings. Many other improvements. Fixes

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (Free for existing customers)
The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu, Affinity Publisher > About).
If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.
If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. Alternatively, this new release (and previous versions of Affinity Publisher for macOS) can be downloaded from this link (that installer is NOT for Mac App Store purchases and needs a product key).
NOTE: This was originally released as 1.8.0 on the Affinity Store and the Mac App Store. Affinity Photo 1.8.0 on the Mac App Store had a permission missing that caused a problem with plugins and Affinity Designer on the Mac App Store had a single file missing causing lots of issues. Those build have been replaced with an otherwise identical 1.8.1 builds. Affinity Publisher did not have these problems, but it has been rebuilt to keep numbering systems in sync with the Mac App Store for StudioLink reasons.

as you see, the Photo and Designer are updated to 1.8.1 
There is no StudioLink if, like by me, Publisher is sold on the webpage. and the others in apple store.

Congratulations to the whole team for the new 1.8 versions of Photo, Designer and Publisher!! Great Job!! 😀👍

Hi Puck,
Yes, this is indeed fixed in PhotoCustomer Beta 1.8.0.168 GM. Thanks for keeping at it.

Looks like today's release of the 1.8.0.168 - GM Seed has fixed this for me🙂

Yes, there wasn't movement on this yet for build 166 Puck. The issue is still open.

Excellent !!

In fact, the "typographical quotes" option in the "Preferences" menu always creates a parasitic space before the apostrophe in Affinity Publisher beta 1.8.0.535. The problem is not fixed.

First look today on my old iMac (mid 2010 27" i7 16gb ram 1gb MacOS 10.13.6)
Develop a Canon raw. Ok, a bit faster.
Build a panorama from 4 Canon Raw, all works fine, maybe a bit faster too then editing in Developer persona. Ok
Loaded a copy of 1.7.x project and working on it. Ok
Created a new project (I really love the "NEW" dialog box) and I've tried a lot of  tools. Nothing wrong. Ok
I hope to take a more complete test in the next days. Thanks for improve !

It will Place into a document in the Photo beta but it will not open in the beta. Odd.

Thanks Puck, everyone.
This is already logged to be looked at.

I can second that, I can't load any tiff file anymore with beta. Same from the finder and open with ... :-(
Steps:
Open a raw file in the APbeta
develop the raw file
export it as tiff/16bit
try to open the same file with the APBeta - > nothings happen ( open with.. in finder or open from inside the App - not loading) 
try to open with the AP 1.7. voila the file will open
1510_Goldener_Herbst_Weinbergsgrund_229.tiff

"not able to" as in tries and fails !!
They are all tif-files which can be opened in Photo 1.7.3 without problems. I created them in APhoto.
And as "Old Bruce" mentioned, tiffs with layers can be opened in the beta (I just discovered that because I usually never save tiffs with layers.)
Unfortunately uploading a Tif does not work. 
 

Lucky Windows users  
Have a nice weekend, Walt 

Biggest congratulations !!! 

I would prefer limited resources to be targeted at improving the existing apps.
