Artem Shush Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Hey! I experience this all the time with filler text. Especially, when placing filler text over filler text. But now it happens even as I try to paste clipboard text several times in a row (into the same frame). ZeroWaste magazine.afpub Oh, yeah! And it happens on Pages sometimes when I paste text over Master frames, but 99% of crushes happen on Master pages, so I think both issues are related to the Master page problem. Sometimes it even crushes when I use Ctrl+A. Edited April 15, 2020 by Pears Posters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted April 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi @Pears Posters, I can reproduce what you see with the attached file, and I've also spotted if you drag select from the 2nd column to the ones on the right the application crashes. I've logged both of these. I'm struggling to try and reproduce this from scratch, did you make this document from scratch or did it come from another one?

Artem Shush Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 @Jon P, When it started to crush frequently, I've made a copy of the document and started to work there in case things get worse, keeping the initial document as a backup. But, I deleted the initial version as soon as I got through Master page setup and started to successfully implement not getting any crushes. Yet, initial document was also made for this project only, so there shouldn't be any rudimentary information, and it's not a template. Plus, there were no deep changes in the layout throughout the whole process. I know there are still so many variables: wrapping images, columns, text styles, effects. But, the main issue is that Filler text is essentially buggy in any document, so I would start with that, to see if the issues persist.

Staff Jon P Posted April 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2020 Do you have any information or steps on how these frames were created and linked together? The linking of the those frames has gone a bit wrong behind the scenes which is the cause. We are looking at if we can fix the file but we would like to know how the file got into this state, so any information to help me reproduce this would be useful!

At first it was 2 frames with 3 columns each. But it crashed anyway. Then, I've decided to make 1 column text in 6 text frames, so the initial 2 frames became the 1st and the 4th. Then, I have made frames in between while keeping them linked. Later (maybe even after I reported the issue), I have broken the link between 3d and 4th frame, because I decided I need only one page per article. Yet, the problem with filler text exist in any situation, and the problem with crushes during text pasting started to appear when it was 2 linked frames with 3 columns.

Artem Shush Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Also, during the "6 columns to 6 frames" transition, I remember pressing Shift + those blue triangles on both the end frame, and the frames in between hoping for some magic. I thought maybe it would fill the layout columns with frames automatically. Don't even know whether it does something on master pages or any pages. Remember this function from InDesign.

Artem Shush Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe you can describe the linking bug more, so I can think of some other, more direct actions I performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Shush Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I've just downloaded the doc and couldn't recreate the bug on Master page, but checked this: it doesn't crush when there are 2 pages, as in the Master layout. But it crashes on the first page, because it has only the first part (maybe?). So, could it be related to the fact the first 3 frames are not on the layout. Because all of 6 frames are linked.

Artem Shush Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 I've selected the red triangle on the first page, so I was able to see links. with Selection tool I've selected invisible frames , that still exist there (they supposed to? idk), and inserted filler text there. It was okay, but it stopped on the 3d frame, so those are not linked to the 4th (first on the actual page 1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
