muelli75 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If you have some connected textboxes, allocated over some pages and you mark text by using Command+PageDown, only text on the last page is visible selected/covered (see screenshot). Same behavior if you use the mouse. Its "only a cosmetical" problem, but it makes some unconfident feeling in the workflow.

walt.farrell Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 As a Windows user I'm not really familiar with how those shortcuts would work on a Mac. But unless you've configured Affinity's Preferences to enable the standard Mac text shortcuts I wouldn't expect Cmd+PageDown to select anything. Also, unless you've changed the standard Affinity keyboard shortcuts Cmd+PageDown should simply move you down a page without doing any selecting. So we probably need more information about those options to know how it should be behaving. Someone with a Mac will need to point out where those settings are, if you need additional info about that. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that I have my Mac setup differently from yours (I changed the go to pages Previous/First/Next/Last shortcuts to the Page Up, Home, Page down and End keys on my extended keyboard) ... but if I want to select from my text caret to the last character in the linked text (over many pages) I use Shift + Command + Down Arrow.

muelli75 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 As Old Bruce mentioned, the standard is Shift + Command + Down Arrow. Its my fault, sorry for that wrong combination. The same or similar effect appears, if you press Command+A (for selecting "all"). If the selection reaches over two or more pages, only the "active" page shows the selected characters. All charcters on all pages are selected, but thats not visible. Its onyl visible on the current page.

Staff Gabe Posted January 15, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi @muelli75, Sorry for the delayed reply. I can't replicate this here. Can you attach a screen recording of this in action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muelli75 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi @gabe! I am also sorry for the late reply. I tried to replicate this in 1.9.1.952 (beta) - the error is gone.
