Page Up/Page Down Home/End keys don't function in Publisher

[coolieranx]

Hello all! In Publisher 1.10.0, the Page Up/Page Down and Home/End keys no longer perform any functions. They worked normally on the previous public release of Publisher.

The keyboard is an Apple Wireless Numeric Keyboard. The Mac is a 16" MBP running Big Sur 11.5.2 (the bug appeared on 11.5.1 as well). 

Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks so much! Love the new release!

I always change the Keyboard Shortcuts to home, page up, page down and end for first, previous, next, and last. The command key is used in conjunction with the page up and down in the defaults. I haven't used a wireless extended keyboard with a MacBook though.

I actually had the same problem a couple of days ago (1.10 on Big Sur, MBP). I was in a hurry so I just changed the shortcuts to Shift+Cmd+arrow and was back in business. I retested it now since you brought it up and I have time and I can't duplicate the original problem, Cmd+arrow is working for me now.

Here's one oddity about the Affinity apps I can't figure out. The other day I had the Insert Index Mark dialog open when I accidentally press the keyboard shortcut for Page Up or Down. Publisher merrily changed the page. If you do this you can't insert an index mark when clicking OK because the insertion point will no longer be where it was when you opened the dialog. Obviously this is not expected behaviour.

The reason the keyboard shortcut worked is the full menus were still available. Apps are supposed to disable irrelevant menu commands when a modal dialog is open. Some of Publisher's modal dialogs are truly modal - for example, Document Setup and Spread Setup. If you try pressing Cmd+ P to print while you have these open it will beep at you as expected and you'll find that the Print menu command is disabled. But other modal dialogs are pseudo modal, they dim the document and won't let you click on it but they'll let you choose keyboard shortcuts for things like Print or Page Up. It is really odd to open the modal Print dialog when the modal Add Pages dialog is already open.
