Steps: 1. Drag the blank.afdesign document (an empty document saved with size 400x300px) and drop to main document 2. Double-click the embedded document, add an artistic text object with size: 728x195, and then insert an Artboard from selection 3. Go back to the main document, you'll see the embedded document's size is 400x300, and render in wrong position & size - The "Page Box" has only one option: "TrimBox" 4. Try to save the document, a warning msg shows: "Save failed because the file could not be written to." 5. The file has been saved in fact, but can't be open, this msg shows: "Failed to open file, the file type is not supported." - Please see attachment: adbug-1111a.afdesign 6. Relaunch Design and a dialog ask for restore the file, I choose yes, and I save it to the same location with this name: adbug-1111b.afdesign - This file can be saved without CAN NOT SAVE warning, but the layer size still buggy. 7. Close the file(adbug-1111b.afdesign) and Re-open again, I found the "Page Box" has three options now: "TrimBox", "Minimum Content" and "Maximum Content" which is correct. But when I edit the text in embedded document and then go back to the main, I got the render result as screenshot above, text's x position has a little negative shift, tail shows when reposition the embedded document layer, and it's very close to expect render result this time. I save the file with naming: adbug-1111c.afdesign (also attached). OS: MacOS 10.15.7 Software: Affinity Designer 1.10.4 adbug-1111a.afdesign adbug-1111b.afdesign adbug-1111c.afdesign

Hello ! I am facing a serious problem of file corruption. When saving a file or after saving it, it gets corrupted. The file does not open again. I urge the developers to fix this issue as soon as possible. It has become difficult to work. Affinity Range 1.10.4.1198, Windows 10 Pro. Ver. 21H1, RAM 6 GB, NVIDIA Graphics - GeForce GT 710, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz, 240 GB SSD, 500 GB HDD

This is hard to explain without looking at the attached example... So I have created a document with 3 art boards. Named Column A B and C. Lets call this the parent document. Within this document is one embedded document. Lets call this the child document. The child document is another Affinity Designer document with 3 art boards. Named Red, Blue and Green. In the parent document, each column artboard contains three references to the same child document. For each reference, I have selected one of the three artboards of the child document.Any changes made to the three child artboards reflect in the parent document as expected. However, if I need to resize the child artboards (lets say from 50mm x 50mm to 60mm x 60mm), the following issues appear in the PARENT document... Any references to a child artboard that was resized will maintain the original size in the parent document. As in the selection handles treat it as if it's still 50mm x 50mm. Additionally, Affinity does attempt to render the content that escapes the original size, but is glitchy. As if it's rendering outside of it's bounding box when it shouldn't. It is possible to create a new artboard at a different size in the child document, but as soon as the size is tweaked after initial creation, the parent document will not get the tweaked size. In my specific use case I need to increase all my artboard sizes to account for some bleed, but currently this causes rendering glitches and doesn't work. It would be too much effort to recreate my artboards every time I want to resize an artboard because I would then have to change all the references in the parent document to point to the new artboards, which rather defeats the point of referencing embeded documents and propagating changes upwards. In the attached file I have resized the green artboard, and you should be able to see the issues. Especially when you try to move the green object around in the parent. Green shape escaping it's bounding box... Gitchy trails when moved... The child document artboards... EmbedDocResizeArtboardBug.afdesign
