Symbols acting strangely on master pages

[Annabella_K]

Hi,

Anyone noticed Symbols acting strangely lately in Publisher?

1. When I duplicate a symbol on a master page and try to move it, it moves both instances together. If I copy-paste it, then the copy won't be synced. So the only way I can duplicate a symbol on a master, is dragging them one by one from the Symbols palette.

2. When I dpulicate a master page that has symbols on it, moving the symbol moves it on both master pages.

Both of these only happen on master pages, they still work on regular pages. Tested in a new file too, so the the problem was not my original file.

I can confirm both issues using Publisher and Designer (latest commercial release 1.9.0.x) on Windows 10.

• Open Publisher;
• Create new document;
• Edit Master Page;
• Create Shape;
• Open Designer Persona;
• Create Symbol from shape;
• Go back to Publisher Persona;
• Duplicate the symbol layer;
• Both symbols move together (one on top of the other);
• Duplicate the master page;
• Edit the duplicate master page;
• Symbols move together on both master pages.

Certainly unexpected behaviour.

Hi @GarryP thanks for confirming. I'm on Windows 10 too. These all worked fine in the previous commecial release.
