[549] Text Frame Baseline from older documents not being updated from Master Pages

[Old Bruce]

The announced "Fixes for Baseline Grid propagation from Master Pages" isn't quite there in that older documents won't update in the new beta. A Text Frame and its Baseline Grid will update on the regular pages only if it (the Text Frame) is made in the new beta. This is for documents from the retail version and the previous betas plus templates from the earlier betas. I am guessing that you guys have re-written the Text Frame code which now won't recognize the older one's baseline.

Both machines 10.12.6 and 10.14.6 and open GL and Metal.

Hi @Old Bruce,

You need to reapply the Master Layout on these pages once again. But once you've done that any modifications to the baseline grid will work from that moment on.

It worked for me anyway.

Unfortunately that was how the fix for this has worked out, we can't fix old documents but it will work for new ones, or as is highlighted if you re-apply it.
