Affinity Designer 1.8.3 Crashes on Save

[Vulpine]

Hi,

I was able to save my file repeatedly till the early evening when it pressing save would crash the software. The first few times this happened, a pop-up error message said something like "Invalid file access. Please report bug to development team". I've Dropbox-ed you the .afpub file.

Hi @Vulpine,

Welcome to the forums. The issue seems to be "MASTER 8C19R White Align Left". Deleting this fixes the crash when save for the meantime. Was this file originally created in 1.8 or is it an old 1.7 file that you re-saved in 1.8?

Hi Gabe,

Thanks for the quick troubleshoot. If only everyone delivered first class customer service! The file was created in v1.8.

Do you remember what you were doing with that masterpage at all? The issue seems to be here: 

Page 18, that pinned text frame.

I can't replicate this. Sorry. Is this recipe to create a new broken document from scratch? Can you attach a screen recording of this in action please?
