Table formats: Impossible to modify or delete a table format, crash the app instantly

[Wosven]

As said, it's impossible to modify a table format. On clicking "OK", the app crashes.

I though I would modify an existing table and create a new format from the selection.That is possible, but wanting to simply rename it crashes the app.

I tried to delete the previous format (before or after applying the new one to existing tables): the app also crash each time.

Hi Wosven,

  I have no trouble with changing formatting in a table or changing a format's name or applying new formats without any crashing. I've attached a publication, made using Publisher Beta, showing some table formatting examples and hopefully this might help you in some ways.

If you still find your app is crashing then Serif would appreciate you providing a crash report see below post by moderator Leigh October 1st, 2019

You may have been asked to provide a crash report when speaking with our support team. 
This will help them look into your issue further and hopefully allow our developers to 
figure out what caused the crash. Below are instructions explaining where the Crash Reports 
are stored on Windows

Press the Windows Key + R to launch the Run dialog and enter the relevant app path:

%AppData%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports\reports
%AppData%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\reports
%AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports\reports
Our crash reports will have a filename that's made up of random alphanumeric characters 
and will have a .dmp extension. 

If you can find that report and attach  it in your next post, it will be helpful to the Serif developers

Another way is to go to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports\reports

It's nice of you to try to help, you can test the file if you want: for example, just add a background color in a cell style and hit "OK":

tests.afpub

I needed the same style in the different files with the apps shortcuts, since I wanted to translate them in French. That's why there's this file with all the needed tables I simply needed to have the same style in the original files, anddo some modifications at some points.

It keeps on crashing the 1.10.5.1282 beta version, but not the recent 1.105.1342 release available recently.

So the problem is resolved, then?

I didn't had to create and work on tables since then, so it is for this file, at least.

As you note, it certainly isn't crashing on Publisher 1.10.5.1342 or Publisher Beta 1.10.5.1282 so tables should work fine for you now
