More PDF problems - mysterious self-resizing content

[broadcast]

Hi,

I've posted a few things along these lines and last time it turned out to be my error. However this one has me tearing my hair out...

I have an embedded PDF document (some sheet music from Dorico) and I have sliced it up using frames so I can position the music as necessary.

I laid everything out perfectly earlier today, saved it and came back later.. to find that the vertical height of all my music has been slightly altered and now nothing matches up 🤮

All of the frames have scale set to 'None'. I was extremely careful when moving frames around that nothing was resizing or transforming in any way other than the frame itself.

To make things worse, this was my second attempt at the project since I had to abandon the first one due to.... vertical height of the staves somehow becoming messed up. I was convinced it was my fault but now I am not so sure!!

 

See the video for the end result (it didn't capture in the video put all of the properties have scale set to 'None').

Please tell me this is my user error (or something I can fix), otherwise I will have to abandon this project.

Hi BroadCast,

I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing a problem like this, just to clarify a few things when is it that you find the frames have re sized? is it after re-opening the Affinity Project file or is it just after putting your computer to sleep with the app still open etc? Are you able to reliably recreate this problem and provide a screen recording showing the file before and after the frames resize themselves?

Thanks

Callum

@Callum, thanks for your reply - I managed to capture it in the end and posted it in this thread:
