Outstanding Issues in 1.8.4.651

[Seneca]

We were asked to re-report issues that weren't addressed by the latest updates, so here they are:

1. Find & Replace
Regular Expressions engine is unable find the Right Tab.

2. Pinned Graphic
Pinned graphic to the text with columns moves with the text but if the text if forced to jump to the next column because of "Keep Paragraph Together" then the pinned graphic will not jump to the next column with the associated text.

Hi @Seneca,

I've just had the same issue with Find and Replace, I've ctrl+started the app to clear all the settings and it was fine. ( I should have saved the user folder…). I believe you have the same issue. Can you please try this: 

Go to /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/ and rename Affinity Publisher Beta to Affinity Publisher Beta.backup and see if it's fine. If it is fine, compress that folder and attach it here. 

I can't replicate the pinning issue. Can you attach a screen recording of your workflow ?

I tried to find the Right Tab again and it still doesn't work, even after renaming the Affinity folder to old. I forgot to mention that this doesn't work with Regular Expressions search. Normal search is finding it. Sorry. (I edited my earlier post)

I have reported this before here. You might be interested in other comments regarding GREP:

 

Regarding pinned graphics not moving with the text to the next column. Please enable "Keep Paragraph Together" to see that. Here is the original post:

Any chance you can attach the document in question with the right tab?

We have asked this for threads where Staff did not have the chance to reply, and they were mainly pre-1.8.3 reports. I see Paul has already replied to your pinning issue

@Gabe, thank you for your response.

Regarding the Right Tab. There is no need for me to attach any documents. Please create a simple 1 page document fill it with text and insert a Right Tab anywhere in the document. 

Then try to find this Right Tab with Regular Expressions. This doesn't work.

The Right Tab can be found, however, with Normal search, not using Regular Expressions.

So what I am saying is that the Regular Expressions engine is having a problem finding the Right Tab.

For what it's worth, I see the same on Windows. A right-indent tab in a Find expression works only when doing a Normal Find. A Regular Expression Find doesn't find it.
