I have found what appears to be a catastrophic bug in that it causes Publisher to crash in such a way that the application simply closes immediately with no explanation or error report etc etc. I am using Publisher release version 1.7.3.481 Can I reproduce it - Yes Does it happen for a new document - Yes Operating system is Windows 10 home, version 1903 istalled 2019-07-30 OS build 18362.535 What happened: I was trying to insert an index mark by highlighting a piece of text and then using the shortcut key. This bring up the insert index mark dialogue box with the highlighted text in the topic name. If you now start to type a parent topic publisher will start to offer you existing topics within the existing menu. if you use the cursor keys to select one of the offered existing topics and then press ENTER to confirm Publisher will instantly crash out by closing the application. It will also do this if you simply type into the Parent topic box and crash out as soon as you press enter. I would expect publisher to accept the enter key as a confirmation of the selection from the offered list or the manually entered text. A simple recreation I did to test this was: Create a simple document of just a list of names. Index mark the first name (clicking with the mouse to complete the entry) Then for the second name create an index topic of relatives (clicking with the mouse to complete the entry). The third name I used the offered menu that showed the relatives topic, selected the relatives topic using cursor keys and then enter to select. Publisher once again crashed out. I have tried a reboot in previous sessions just to check that there was nothing odd with my system and the same problem occurred immediately after the reboot using the same method above. Other software loaded at the same time: Firefox, Outlook, Designer (affinity) I am using a second screen but this is only a display (at time of writing) and not my home external which is also a touch screen but I do not think this would be a cause of the crash. I have not changed anything recently and have only recently started using Publisher to build a better version of a document that I originally created in Designer. Any Thoughts? Adam.
