Affinity Publisher 1.8.4 freezing on Catalina 10.15.6


Recommended Posts

I am experiencing repetitive freezing (spinning beachball) when opening my Publisher files. On opening the file, Publisher reports missing fonts and resources (despite all being available and in the correct folders). The master pages and documents pages in the Left Studio are mostly blank and the simple frames on page backgrounds seem to be lores (screenshot attached). The file is not accessible for editing and freezes permanently after a short period (spinning beachball) which requires a forced quit exit. I experience the same issue with this file whether I just restart Affinity, or completely cold boot and restart. Once this problems occurs it appears the file is not recoverable. 

On the assumption that I have somehow corrupted this file I have been working with an older version of the file for the past several hours however it has also crashed (Publisher disappeared to the desktop as I was editing) and now this file is exhibiting the same issues (see Crashlog - attached).

I have been working on this file for over six months without any issues until just recently. This all appears to have started after the 1.8.4 update. If this issue is not known and there is no solution I am keen to go back to an earlier version of Publisher. Where can those files be downloaded from?

Very frustrating!!
