Master pages: Content assigned to wrong object when changing the master page

[Andreas S]

I'm still working on making different layouts for (nearly) the same content. I have two master pages with objects (text and pictures) named the same in both master pages. But the 1st master page has one text object without a corresponding text object in the 2nd master page. I expected that this object will be ignored when assigning the 2nd master page. Instead one of the other text objects is chosen by AFPUB to contain the text from this object. The attached file presents a sample. It has two pages: 1st page with the 1st master page, 2nd page how it should look with the 2nd master page applied. Steps to reproduce what I previously described:

Go to 1st page, duplicate and then apply the master page "Katalogseite" to the copy. The text from the 1st page's object "Infotext" will be placed into the logo.

I am using Affinity Publisher 1.9.2.1035 on Windows.

Why are the pages different sizes? A4 and A3.

Hi @Old Bruce,

that's by purpose. The A3 format is printed as an A5 booklet with 4 pages. That was in fact a problem in the past (fixed by Serif), that objects which were outside the A4 page vanished completely after applying the new master page.

Hi both,

I will get this issue logged.

Thanks guys!

It is fixed with the newest Beta-Release 1.10.0.1098
