Publisher 1.9.2.1035 on Windows 10. I’ve just had to manually delete hundreds of anchors from a document which I didn’t add myself. Most of them had bad names or were duplicates - can't trust them either way - so I wanted to wipe them all and start from scratch manually. I had to delete them one-by-one as I couldn’t find a way to select them all and delete. Hence my question in the post title: How can I stop this happening again? They look like they were created via Paragraph Styles but I couldn't see anything in the Paragraph Style formatting about anchors. These three threads are about other problems with anchors but none, that I can see, are about stopping them being created in the first place: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/80096-anchors-and-hyperlinks/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/124215-the-new-bookmarks-feature-is-very-bad-190742/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/137011-anchors-borked-and-usability/

When you rename an anchor or do pretty much anything else in the panel, the panel scrolls back almost to the top (but not quite to the top) and expands all collapsed anchors. It doesn't change the selected anchor, it just scrolls it far out of view and expands everything. It would be easier if it didn't do either of these things. Thanks, Mike
