Here's a strange bug I happened to come across. If you adjust the text frame size (width or height) to be 0, it's not possible to resize it back. Of course you can't set it to 0 in transform panel or by dragging on the box handles. Except, if you happen to have a snapping point and you drag both of the handles to that same snapping position, then the size is locked to 0, the handles disappear and transform panel doesn't change the size anymore. Only way I've found to enable resizing again is to go back in history. And sometimes even this glitches the text frame and the bounding box is not aligned with the handles. You have to redo history step (go back to 0 size), and then go back more than 1 step in history for it to align correctly. (Edit: the bounding box error is just visual and will fix itself if you deselect and reselect object.) Tested on: Affinity Publisher (ver. 1.10.5.1342) Windows 10 (build 19044.1826)

After (accidentally) resizing an vector shape layer to zero either for x or y, the layer stays in the layer stack, but dimension fields couldn’t changed any more. Layer effectively becomes lost (except undo if you observe issue before saving without history). create new document create any vector shape activate move tool use numeric input in transform panel for height or width: 0 and click enter Input field gets disabled. when you change numeric input by mouse gesture, field stays editable even when 0 is shown.
