I have described this above on the Designer forum as that was where pattern layer issues started the conversation and where I was pointed to the Publisher Beta, having posted response realised it might need a more Publisher related airing. Publisher Beta 1.10.21187 on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 27" late 2012 iMac As mentioned this behaviour is not in the current release version, just the beta.

I first reported this back in October 2019 and that thread can be found back in the Pre-1.9 Bug Report section. Both the afpub and the text file in question were uploaded back then. (Hang_text1.afpib and Bible.txt) It's been 2 years since my last post on this subject, so I decided to give it another test with the latest beta (1.10.2.1187) Now it takes 55 minutes before I get control back, so there's been some improvement over the previous 1,5 hours. That said, having to wait almost a full hour to auto flow pure text is not satisfactory. Admittedly, it's 1800+ pages, but other users reported the process taking a handful of minutes, back in 2019. I assume this process is mostly CPU and memory intensive. I should be well covered there (6-core i7 and 64GB RAM), so I'm left wondering what's causing this. Any thoughts, devs? Edit: This should probably have been posted in the beta section. Feel free to move.

This is something I haven't noticed in previous versions. In a 323 page 6"x9" document, the main window scrollbar only takes me as far down as (physical) pages 286/287. Never past that. If I use the left-hand Pages display to scroll to the bottom of the document, the main window scrolling behaves as expected from that point onward. And yes, I have waited a while to see if it clears up, i.e. the program is busy computing something. This happens on two computers. Windows 10 - 64-bit
