Text in text frame jumps when moving or resizing

[flobin]

Hi everybody, I am trying to layout a document that has quite a bit of text (in numbered lists). I've set up some character and paragraph styles, made a front page, so far so good. However something strange seems to happen when I resize or move the text frame. The text seems to jump all over the place, resulting in partially empty text frames.

I'm running Affinity Publisher 1.10.4 on macOS 12.0.1. Hardware acceleration is on.

I don't really know how to describe it, so I'm not sure if there have been posts about this before. I've attached a screen recording and the file. Any help would be much appreciated!

It is the application of overly aggressive use of the various Flow options in the Paragraph styles. Why do you want to keep the paragraph with the previous one? It is fine for a occasionally used Paragraph style like a second level header but will give you this result when used in a regular bunch of text. Don't do like you did here

Keep with previous and Keep with next 1 line. There is no way of ever breaking the flow of paragraphs being kept in just one frame.

Thank you so much @Old Bruce! This solved my issue. I suppose this means my problem was not a bug with Affinity Publisher, so if a mod wants to delete this thread that would be fine.
