Joachim_L Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Just curious if this is by design or a bug. Create a text frame, type a word and reduce the width of the text frame until normally the first character won't fit into the box. Same applies to Publisher.

I don't see what you see, so there may be something more involved. For me, the remaining letters drop down to the next line as I narrow the Text Frame. That doesn't seem to have happened for you, which puzzles me. I see all the letters remaining visible.

Joachim_L Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Reduce the height of the text frame that there is only space for one line of text. Maybe you will see what I mean. firstcharacter.afdesign Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already tried that, but I will try your file to see how it behaves Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

walt.farrell Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Interesting. Yes, with your file I see the behavior that the excess characters disappear. Here's my file showing just the opposite: The characters that don't fit in the width simply drop down a line and remain visible. I'm not sure what the difference is between our files. walt-first-character.afdesign Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

carl123 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Take the file into Publisher and you will see that the displaying of "overflow text" has been disabled in the OP's text frames Joachim_L, Sean P and walt.farrell 1 2 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff Sean P Posted November 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 6, 2019 Carl123 is spot on! How did you create that frame Joachim_L? Did you paste it from Publisher or from an AFPub document? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Borrowed (and adapted) from Carter USM: "Then you reach that age - 53, 54 - your brain gives up, it waves a little white flag and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a stupid old man." I could have sworn, that I created a text frame in ADesigner in the first place, right now I tried again and everything is fine. Please bury me.
