SirWillibald Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi there, I'm using Affinity Publisher for more and more things and I think it's already really great. But a few things are still annoying. I wanted to create a huge time table for family member's video conferences (we desperately need this at the moment...). I came up with a big table, every second line highlighted in grey (took me a while to figure out how table formats worked, but got it). Then I've started to highlight different (partially merged) cells with 2pt borders in different colors. Turns out, this is annoying. It's kinda hard to describe, but the "Stroke and Fill" property window doesn't really work very intuitive: - Each feature has to be selected very specifically, for example, simply clicking the box frame and then a solid line produces very different results, seemingly depending on what the cell looked like before. - Choosing a specific color doesn't allow to choose a recently used color, this part of the window always shows black, grey and white - ... Is there a way to improve this behaviour? If desired, I can try to illustrate this with a little screen video. Cheers, Christian aka SirWillibald PaoloT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodDrop Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Oh, I do agree! I have just made my first "serious" table in Publisher and it was not an easy task. I hope it gets some more attention, although I recognize there are more pressing matters currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted February 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi @SirWillibald, Sorry to hear you're having trouble!

I'm not seeing the same results here but this certainly may be document related - could you please provide a screenshot or screen recording showing this for me?

Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

SirWillibald Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hi @Dan C, yeah, I've found a bug! Very glad to hear it's seemingly not my fault... Regarding the borders, the issue is really hard to describe, perhaps my words were chosen poorly, I'll have a go again and see if I can come up with something more useful!
