Applying a master to a page with inline frames causes crash to desktop

[Pool]

Hi,

I'm creating a manual book and have found the above problem when trying to change a page from left facing to right facing (using a master for each side).

• I'm using the latest version of Publisher for Windows (at the time of report, 1.10.5.1342).
• I'm using Windows 10, automatically updated to the latest version.
• The bug occurs with hardware acceleration on and off.
• The only external hardware on my computer are USB accessories (desk fan and phone charger).

I've attached a document I created to mimic the actual document. In the process of doing so I may have narrowed down the issue.

To replicate the bug:

1. Select page 2
2. Apply "Master B"
3. Software should crash to desktop

I replicated my own document in stages until the crash occurred after adding a text frame which I set to be inline on the text frame built into the master. Until then I could switch masters without issue.

When trying to replicate I noticed that deleting the text frame in column 1 page 2, or unpinning it, then applying the master, will stop the crash so it seems the CTD is tied to that.

During my tests I also noticed the table group in column 2 page 2 exhibiting strange/unexpected behaviour:

1. Delete the text frame or unpin it
2. Apply "Master B" to page 2
3. The table will be removed from the group in the master and be promoted to the document layer
4. Undo the apply master step
5. Notice that the three circles in the group have been moved into the relative position they were in when the table was on the document layer

I haven't seen this behaviour in the actual document I'm working on, though this may be because I've only recently started setting objects inline.

Thanks for your time.
