Leonie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have some linked text that is in the text frame but not showing up. As you can see by my screen shot it is there as the spelling issues are underlined in red. I have checked that all text is black. This is the middle of three text boxes. The third one flows on perfectly from the end of this page? Any ideas please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 First thought is that it looks like there is text in a text frame which has been 'turned off' , check your layers panel for page 13.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonie Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 The layers panel is definitely on, I tried turning it off and on again but that hasn't worked. It is weird that it show the first line only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird that it show the first line only. It's not a question of whether the Layers panel is active or not. It's a question of what the layer structure of that page is, and whether there's another object on the page that is causing the behavior you're seeing.

Leonie Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I dragged a master on the page, the same as the page previous and the page after, which are both behaving normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you show us the Layers panel for the page before, and for the problem page?

Leonie Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have had a play around this afternoon and took that story into a completely new document, and the same thing happened. If I only have two text boxes linked it works fine, but as soon as I link to a third text box I don't lose the text but I lose the ability to see it and it doesn't print either. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I would advise uploading a sample document with this anomaly present so we can take a look, we might spot or be able to work out what's going on. Creating our end may not yield the same results as you are seeing, especially on different Operating Systems. Also have you tried the same process with Lorem Ipsum text? https://www.webfx.com/tools/lorem-ipsum-generator/ Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

Leonie Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Just tried filler text and it works fine. I have attached two pages as a sample document. Sample Document.afpub walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Interesting. I can’t see any obvious problems with the first page but the second page shows some anomalous behaviour in Publisher 1.8.4.693 on Windows 10, see attached video. The text in the middle Text Frame is cut-off at the bottom and the cut-off point doesn’t seem to match the bottom of the frame. When I resize the frame, the text has big gaps where no text seems to be. Expanding the text gives me ‘ghost paragraphs’ which cannot be selected. Pressing the DELETE key quite a lot bring the text ‘back into line’ but that’s not a good solution. This is not what I would call expected behaviour. 2020-08-24_08-43-00.mp4 stokerg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope and neither would i. @Leonie Thanks for the sample file. I've ran this past the QA team and they have logged the issue the Dev team. It does seem slightly better in 1.8.3 but it certainly requires further investigation by the Dev team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 @Leonie and @stokerg There is a problem with the Paragraph Style using Keep With Previous Paragraph and Keep Paragraph Together being turned on. Turn them off and it all works. On: Off: Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.
