Dear Sirs, I have a similar problem whereby every time i delete a master slide the whole programme crashes and freezes! The only action then is to forcefully use task manager to close AP? I noticed in the internet this was a problem in previous years so i'm not sure why Affinity has not resolved the issue in all the updates!

Windows 10 Home 1909, Publisher 1.8.2.620. I have a small document that I want to delete a master page from (actually I want to delete two but I can’t delete one). I select the master page in the Master Pages Panel, then right-click the master page and choose Delete from the contextual menu. The master page is deleted but the application then hangs. I’ve waited a few minutes but in the end I have to end the task from the Task Manager. See attached video showing that I can’t scroll any panel, nor select from a menu, nor select any layers. I can provide the document if you give me somewhere to drop it. 2020-03-30 09-39-05.mp4

It would be useful to be able to search for index marks so you can search for particular indexed terms and replace them with an unindexed term (identical or not). Currently, you can't add the indexing mark to a search or a replace entry. Would this be possible? Being able to search for the indexing marks would also make it possible to remove all indexing marks from a document, if you wanted to make major changes and start again. It would also enable you to search for particular entries in the text and add an indexing mark where appropriate. I'm aware you can search for index related character formatting, but this again doesn't make it possible to remove the indexing marks in an automated fashion. Workaround is to search for a particular index term and look for entries which are listed with a downwards pointing arrow before said term, click to locate in text and then manually delete the index mark. Rather laborious in longer documents, and also easy to miss entries or make mistakes in the process.
