geirrosset Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Trying to change the rule above footnotes instantly crashes Publisher. MacOS 12.6, Mac Mini M1 This was the last thing left to do on a Journal I am editing. Without a fix for this I'll have to redo the entire Journal in Quark as a short thick default rule will not pass.

MikeTO Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hi, I'm not experiencing this problem on an M1 Pro so there must be something in the document causing this problem. Does it crash if you create a new document, draw a frame, insert a footnote, and then change the width and thickness of the rule above? If it doesn't, that lends credence to the idea that this is document specific. Does it crash if you back up the document and delete all but one page and all of the overset text so you have just a single page before trying? Is there any chance you could share the document or any part of it that causes the issue? I'd be happy to take a loo at it for you. If not, you may need to wait for Serif to provide a provide a dropbox link so they can review it. Good luck!

geirrosset Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Tried a new document with 1 note. No crash. Then opened the same document that had crashed multiple times. Now it did not crash. It fixed itself. That's good, I guess. MikeTO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eworkflow Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Well, crashing APub2 after manipulating footnote parameters is not limited to MacOS; It happens to me repetitiously on Win11, forcing the document's recovery.

Hi, are the exact same steps triggering the crash or is it that it's crashing in different ways while using footnotes? Are you able to share a sample document with steps? The only replicable crash I've seen with footnotes is copying and pasting text embedded with footnote references. Of course that's something people need to be able to do regularly but for now I recommend saving before copying and pasting.

eworkflow Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 My AffPub2 on Win11 crashes happened when I "played" with Notes / Footnotes / Custom / Bottom of Frame parameters (to learn their effect, so it was pretty random) while I had cursor placed within the footnote, but I am not sure at this time what were the steps. I will try to follow it proactively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have problems with Custom, but Document-wide with many footnotes is a serious headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessuser Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 This still seems to be an issue. Today I posted this, before I found this thread: It seems like this is a document specific bug. When I create a new file and add a note to text i can change the rule above. If I try the same with my document Publisher instantly crashes. My Document consists of a imported Word file.
