I am on MacOS 11.7, using Affinity Publisher 1.10.5. I am working on a multi-page file that includes a Table of Contents. I reuse it every time the client requests a new publication. As I'm laying out the new articles, I periodically check the Preflight and update the TOC to ensure I haven't given any text element the wrong Paragraph/Character style. As I was laying out one article, I noticed it was breaking the paragraphs oddly, so I delved into the respective settings to ensure nothing was amiss. I ended up resolving it by restarting the program (weird things happen with text frames sometimes, and I find a restart usually solves things). After this, I checked Preflight again and noticed it was complaining about a text frame overflow. I went to check the culprit, and it was the TOC text frame. I have been trouble-shooting this for 40 minutes now. All tests have had the same result - this issue persists. I've tried new text frames on the same page, new text frames on a new page, resetting all of the TOC text formatting, and checking the Character and Paragraph style settings, as well as the Text Frame settings. Each time completely redoing the TOC. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it keeps doing this. If I allow it to flow to a new text frame, it displays one line and then shoves all of the other text out of the text frame entirely. Each text frame containing the TOC displays one line only before shoving the rest of the text out of the text frame. All of the overflow text appears correct, spacing-wise. Can someone please help shed some light on what is going on here?

I’m slowly loosing the will to live 😞😞😞 I've applied Header 1 and Header 2 paragraph styles to the document. It appears to list the table of contents in reverse order where header one style permanently appears to act as the child of header two even though I’ve adjusted the next level values to what I believe are correct. Heading One: Based on Base, Next Style [Same Style], and Next Level Heading Two. Heading Two: Based in Base, Next Style [Same Style], and Next Level [No Level] Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA
