Random crashes with pinned objects

Recommended Posts

With the German Affinity Publisher 1.7.3.481 (Windows), as soon as I do lots of things to make pinned objects behave properly (mainly in a double-sided document with mirrored margins), I get random crashes: Publisher just vanishes without trace, without error message, without anything. And the reason why I sometimes have to do lots of things with pinned objects is that there seems to be a number of odd tweaks in the implementation that make pinned objects behave strangely or unexpectedly, so lots of fiddling is involved.

Since this happens randomly and on more or less all files I tried, I cannot send you an example file, but just rant a bit. Documents without pinned objects don't regularly produce crashes (as far as I remember).

Do you use fields at the same time? Some time ago I documented a bug where the program crashes when using pinning and fields at the same time. As far as I know, this bug has not been fixed yet.

The document where the problems mainly occur uses some fields in the master page's footer (author, savedate, filename, pagecount), and nowhere else.

Publisher also crashed once when trying to open this document, but I also couldn't force that error again...
