Weird column breaks with linked frames


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Fredjen! Where is this text coming from? A placed docx? Maybe there is something wrong with the text style or the hyphenation or a column break is inserted. Hard to tell looking at the screenshot. Could you upload the Affinity Publisher document here or a small part of it?

Having that part of the .afpub file would help. It might also help to have Text > Show Special Characters enabled.

Thank you for the replies so far.

I did not safe the file in that state, but I can offer an older one that had been working as intended before, but now does the same thing for me on page 8 for example.

Hausregeln 2020-01-12.afpub [taken down as problem has been solved]

EDIT: Forgot to answer that. How the attached file came to be exactly, I don't remember, but it behaves very similarily to the one I took the screenshot of. The text originated from a placed rtf-file. I also tried just copy-pasting the text from the file (opened in libre office).

You mention LibreOffice, is the text from there originally

I just copied and pasted the text from your Publisher file into the Mac's Text Edit application. It pasted fine and was rich text I then copied from there and Pasted it into the same frames in the Publisher Document after deleting the text. Looked fine to me. I am thinking this has something to do with the rtf and where it came from.

Placing the Text Edit document (.rtf format) worked fine as well.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

It's related to the paragraph flow options "Prevent widowed last lines" and "Keep with next ... Lines" (currently set to 2).

If you put the text cursor on the last line on page 8 left column, and turn off "Prevent widowed last lines" in the Paragraph panel and set "Keep with next" to 0 it flows as I think you expected it to.
