Changing Start of Facing Pages from Left to Right corrupts document


Recommended Posts

Affinity Publisher 1.8.3.641 (Windows 10)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new document (e.g. A4) with facing pages, start on left
  2. add a rectangle (with solid fill) to master page "Master A" covering the whole area
  3. add three pages to the document using master page "Master A" (so you have total of 4 pages)
  4. on each page place a simple unique text (e.g. the number 1 to 4)
  5. select File/Document Setup... - in the dialogue select "Start on Right"
  6. --> the text on page 2 vanishes - this is because the order of layers gets corrupted - "Master A" is above the text of page 2

Note: there is a similar problem when adding or removing a odd number of pages to your document at the start

I think a simple solution would be:

  • if changing the start page setup add a single page - so the rest of the document should would not be modified at all
  • warn the user if he inserts/removes an odd number of pages in an document with facing pages

This would solve the issue for me - I just wanted to add a single title page to the document.

Thanks & Happy Easter, Christian

PS: can also be reproduces with Affinity Publisher 1.8.4.648 Beta
