Ron_Lionheart Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hello everyone, Right now a bug is giving me an insane headache ... I'll try my best to describe it and hope that someone can help me. I have a chart with, for example, 5 columns. If I click on a anywhere above the chart, the mouse jumps straight back into the chart. Although I DO NOT click directly into the chart, but outside of it. That only happens when I click something above the chart. If I click somewhere below the chart, I can still click everything I want to click. This bug is not always present. When it happens to me, for example, is when I have 5 columns and then add a 6 column. With 5 columns everything works great. The bug occurs with 6 columns and more. If I go back to 5 columns, the bug has disappeared. I even recorded a video, but this is probably too big at 125mb to upload here ... Can someone help me please. I'm going completely INSANE! Thank you so much! Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I can hear the audio but I can’t see anything (other than a white rectangle and the video controls). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it work now? Btw this is an .mp4 file.. Chart_Bug_V2.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I can see the video now. Thanks. That’s very strange. I don’t use tables a lot myself but I feel certain that you should not be having that sort of trouble. I tried a little bit of testing but cannot replicate the problem you are having and have not seen it before. Hopefully someone else can advise better. If you do not want to share the original file in public then a developer might be able to give you a private link so they can look at it.

firstdefence Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 With 6 columns I get the same behaviour but if you select everything but the title and drag it down the page a bit (approx 100mm) then slowly move the cursor up from the table, at approx 57mm the cursor changes from an input text cursor to a table cursor. If you group all but the title, the table will behave itself with 6 or more columns.

What also helps, is, if you ONLY group the chart with itself and "nothing else". See the picture below... This also can't be a reasonable solution... this has to be a bug...

firstdefence Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I agree, something is amiss but it sometimes helps to find workarounds that potentially point to the reason for the bug, unless someone else can come up with a reasonable reason I would probably submit a bug report: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/80-report-a-bug-in-affinity-publisher/ Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

MikeW Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This thread can be moved to the bug section if desired. @Ron_Lionheart, would you want this thread moved so the whole thread with work-arounds are preserved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 18, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi Ron_Lionheart, Welcome to Affinity Forums This is a regression from 1.8.3. I'm logging this to be looked at. Thanks for reporting it. Thread moved to the Publisher Bugs found on MacOS section. MikeW 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 This behavior looks the similar to this bug: Until this is fixed, there are a couple ways you can select what you want: first, change the order of the layers if possible. I suggest putting the layers from top to bottom in the order they appear on the page. This usually solves the problem for me. Secondly, if this is not possible to reorder the layers because of the design, you can use option-click to select layers beneath the one that is selected.
