Text dissapering

[Joaquim]

Hi. Just updated to 1.9.1 with the hope to be able to work after the bunch of bugs of this first lunch release. Must say that I have work to do with serious dead lines and this is getting a bit complicated to use.

When making flow text in columns, text disappear if I resize one of the columns, it comes back after scrolling to an other page back, also have problems with the text cursor just gets sort of transparent hide, it's there but I can't see it, this is quite random but often, till now doesn't happen in the first column. And finally justify text acts funny. It acts like was a full justify in some cases, so the last line gets fully justified and needs a brake to make it back to a proper left side. I'm working in to annual reports, if you need the file I can send it privately. Said this before about designer and I will say it again, please take care, this are working tools and we need them in working conditions every day.

Hi, must seriously apologise, that happens to me with a very long text cut and paste from word, I have being working  on the file as I have a tight dead line, and starting to make in to smaller bits and works as expected now, Not sure if will happen again pasting long text or by using a longer text blocks all over the pages. So, before anything, my apologies for the flame, I was very upset by the previous update to 1.9, sorry me. And I will try to remake the problem, if you are interested, but will be next week. Thank you for answering fast.

I know the problem, but the text is there (red arrow!). Word-Text via clipboard is tricky.

Maybe it helps to mark all the text in the box and delete all styles in the Textstyle-Panel.

Hi sorry for the delay, seems that things are getting in place now. I'm aware about text format from Word, even many times I do a double check, copy and past in to the standard text app in mac to convert it in to a non format text, copy again and paste without format, Silly thing to do from being also an old web designer. What has been really tricky this times is the hyphenation settings, something has been done different from last version that made things strange, maybe just me, just setting them different made it work, still a little strange but not sure what is it. After the Designer fake update and having a very tight dead lines for two annual reports, They are always late serving numbers and then all has to be done in a couple days, things went a bit mad here, and when sofware doesn't do what is expected, well I'm sure you all know what I mean. In any case seems that everything is working quite fine, at list enough useful . Great tools, just wanted to mention that being a tool some people may have serious troubles if doesn't do what was expected. Thank you all.
