Affinity Publisher Table Malfunction

[Steve Rawson]

I'm not sure why but when I click into a table to change column width or height on the fly... the Left and Top dark borders are not popping up to do so.  Is this happening to anyone else? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Steve Rawson I've just had a quick try on a new document and haven't been able to recreate this issue. Is this document specific?

Would you be able to upload a video of this happening and the document you are having issues with please?  I can provide you with a dropbox folder link if you don't want to upload them publicly.

Works fine here (Windows). Double clicking with the Move Tool or single click with Table Tool displays the "Left and Top dark borders"

Did you upload a video as requested by SPaceBar?

Also, specifying what MAC OS you are using may be useful

To me on mac they do appear in your .afpub if selected with either Text Tool or Table Tool (not with Move Tool):

I'm using Mac OS 10.13.6

TABLE_ISSUE.screenflow.zip

Steve, in case your .dat + .scc is meant to display a screencast: it seems to require the ScreenFlow.app to view their content. – Can you upload a video instead, e.g. m4v / mp4?

[Steve Rawson]

Not sure how to upload m4v / mp4.

However, when I double click into the table... I don't see Column Header A or B... and I don't see Row Border 1, 2, 3 or 4.  So what should I do?

No it's not document specific. Anytime I open a new document. 

Open new document > create table > double click into table > no border allowing me to change table.

By any chance is this table on a Master Page? Or in a group?

[Steve Rawson]

No... but thanks for asking and thanks for continuing your detective work.
