Trouble selecting the desired object.

[Muscateer]

Please view the supplied video to see this issue. Essentially, when I try to select a particular object a different object is selected. Even when clicking into blank space the same object is selected. Frustrating. This happens on other pages too. It seems that it is always related to text frames. There are other pages on which it doesn't happen.

This seems similar to an open bug that I reported not too long ago:

To work around the issue, try reordering the text frame object in the layer studio to see if that resolves the problem. It seemed to work for me.

Thank you for the advice I will give that a go.

HI @Muscateer Thanks for the video. Can I ask what version of Publisher you are using? The issue reported above was fixed so I'm trying to see if this is a slightly different one.

Would you also be able to upload your document? I can supply you with a dropbox folder link if you don't want to upload it publicly.

1.8.4

Hi I would prefere to upload to dropbox link and would ask you to delete the file once you have no need for it as it contains client information.

Thanks for the info. I've just tried the file from the bug mentioned by @garrettm30 and while it has now been fixed it is present in 1.8.4. I'd like to see if the fix for that bug also fixes your issue, it is very likely.

Would you be able to install the latest Mac Beta and see if your issue is still happening in that build? You won't need to upload your client file if it is no longer an issue in the Beta.
 

Thanks

I can confirm that Beta 1.9.0.822 solves this problem! Which is great because it was getting very frustrating.
