Bug - Publisher 1.9.1 - similar issue to links misbehaving in 1.9.0

Follow up with release of Publisher 1.9.1

On opening my document with links to Designer file, the same sort of problem appears (clipped imagery within frames) but this time you can zoom in and out of the spread and see the cropping change. I cannot show you this behaviour as a screen recording, as the document is client-sensitive. However, I created new documents from scratch, and repeated the error.

Appears to be something fundamental with the Resource Manager, loosing track of linked documents, or misinterpreting what status the document is in. If I simply create a new version of the Publisher and Designer document, make a simple change to the Designer document, and try to update the Publisher document via the Resource Manager, all picture frames are now blank.

I’m rolling back to 1.8.6 again, where this workflow works fine.

UPDATE…

I’ve screen recorded the very odd issue of zooming in and out and seeing the random cropping of each object. All original frames are the same dimensions.

I’ve had to blur out the content, due to the client-sensitive nature of the project, but I hope you see what’s happening here.

I've left the columns of the Resource Manager visible, so you can see "happy" status "OK".

Can you try this in the latest beta here and let me know if you still get issues

Thanks

@Jon P Initially, frames were acting odd, but had to rebuild the Publisher (Beta 1.9.2 1009) document, then carefully do things in a certain order:

Place > Designer > first artboard appears on-click.

Page Box > Minimum Content

Right-click > convert to picture frame (set Properties to None)

Still issues with Resource Manager (as shown) with no preview, plus dimensions shown in pixels, even though document set globally to millimetres.

If I’m more casual and slap-dash, all "Hades" breaks loose.

Seems to be a step in the right direction, but will probably need to rebuild my proper master file, once 1.9.2 goes live. I’m okay with that, if it means future updates behave as expected.
