Thank you!

Just upgraded Publisher to 2.5.0 on Windows 11 and strange bugs happening immediately with a file that was just working fine on last 2.4.x. Clicking icon for Preview Mode is not working. Double clicking on pages on side bar does nothing; clicking forward/back buttons on bottom left does nothing. Clicking on page navigator again caused Publisher lock up - Not Responding. Restarted Windows - same problems occur. No problems yet with Photo 2.5.0.

Hi - I'm suddenly suffering repeated crashes. And by "crashes" I mean that Photo 2.1 just disappears/closes without a trace. Not frozen, not hidden, completely gone from Task Manager. And I'm just doing some light photo editing - nothing complex. I haven't been able to sort out if any one action is causing the problem - it seems a bit random. The basics: Windows 11, Dell Workstation Core i9, RTX 20xx graphics. Running at the time: Powerpoint, Edge with a few windows (Discord, Gmail, Youtube, etc.). Any ideas on where to begin to fix this? Thanks...

I concur with the option or default setting of using a single click on the page previews to view a page. Double clicking is un-intuitive and rather cumbersome for quickly switching back and forth b/t different pages. For some work I often duplicate pages, and the double click process is very irksome - many times I carelessly thought I was on a new page, while in reality I was editing the original. Otherwise, I'm enjoying Publisher greatly! Nice work!

Indeed, turning off "scale with object" solves the problem. Honestly, I don't remember my workflow. I think I started in one document as a rounded rectangle, then it went through a couple copy/pastes, scales, groupings, etc. and then into the current document. That really helps clean up my document! Thanks! Regards, BK

Hi all, I'm encountering a strange problem. I'm using a lot of rounded rectangles in a document. On certain rounded rectangles, they seem to have a huge selection area (invisible) around them (roughly twice the width of the actual object). It is really a nuisance as when I try to click any objects nearby, instead I select the problematic rounded rectangles. I'm at a lost - they are straightforward objects, I can't see any funky masking or other issues. I attached a sample file with a couple problematic rounded rectangles and a couple non-problematic. I called the layers "Problem Child" so you can see. Try selecting far away from the problem ones and you select the object. Thoughts? Am I missing some obvious setting???

Hi Lee, Thanks! Resetting the App solved the problem immediately. FYI...I wasn't able to uninstalled the Windows Update - that update was a cumulative update and wasn't listed individually in the Uninstall Updates section of Windows. Regards, Brad

Hi Affinity, I have an urgent problem. Today when I went to open Designer, as soon as it seems to load the program it immediately vanishes. It appears to load OK, even briefly flashes the full window of the program, then disappears. No instance of it remains in Task Manager. Win10 Home version 1903, Designer 1.7.3.481 I restarted the computer - same problem. I went to the original 1.7.3 download file EXE and selected "repair" - same problem. Uninstalled complete, restarted computer, reinstalled - same problem. Designer was working fine all week, suddenly today it won't open. I've changed nothing on the laptop this week - no new software, no new drivers, no Windows updates (as far as I can tell). Please help!!!!! -Brad

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks!!!

Just updated the driver. HP Spectre x360 with Core i7, 8th gen, Intel 620 graphics. Unfortunately the update made no difference, still pulsing.

Hi Affinity, I'm demoing your trial of Affinity Photo. I'm using Win10 on a brand new HP Spectre Laptop, very high end specs. I'm editing a dark grey image. I'm seeing a strange "flickering" or "pulsing" in the image window. It is very slight, random, and just barely visible. I don't believe the rest of the program menus/surrounds are flickering. I have not seen this issue on this new computer in any of my other software, so I don't believe it is a hardware issue. Any solution? It is very annoying and a deal breaker for me using the software... Thanks, Brad
