Dampsquid Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Document is open, Fields is in dock to right of document pane. User action is to double click the placeholder text for author, title, whatever, in order to replace with desired text. As soon as a double-click is made on the text to select it Publisher will crash (every time). Positioning the cursor at the end of the text, backspacing until deleted and then entering new, desired, text works as expected. The3Emran 1 Quote
MikeTO Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 I've experienced this crash, too, on macOS Ventura. Which version are you on?

MikeTO Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Note, this bug is with Publisher and not Designer so this thread should be moved by a moderator to the Publisher forum when time permits Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.5 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.5 for macOS Sequoia 15.3, MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) and iPad Air (M2)
nwhit Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 As an update, I just updated my M1 MBP to Ventura 13.1 beta and I no longer get the crash. Not definitive but may be a Ventura issue that will be resolved with the new version soon. Update: Spoke too soon! After trying it about 10 times, I let it sit for awhile. When I tried it once more, crash.

Staff Lee D Posted December 2, 2022 Staff Posted December 2, 2022 It's not something I can replicate in Publisher V2 on my M1 system running Ventura 13.0.1. I can double click into each field on the Fields panel and add,edit and delete from each field no problem. Those having the crash, do you have a particular document open or is this using a new blank document? If you can retrieve a crash report from macOS for when a crash occurred and upload here, it can be checked. Quote
The3Emran Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Hi Lee where would you like me to upload the crash report? I am on MacOS, the document was originally created in the designer, however as discussed on the forum elsewhere, the wrong details are usually saved in the PDF metadata when exported from Affinity Designer. As a result, the affinity designer file was opened in to publisher, then field studio activated. In my case I was able to edit stuff that were blank. However the title section was filled incorrectly by the designer and as soon as I click on the placeholder to change the title, it crashes. Quote

I can crash this on demand with my M1 Pro and 13.0.1 with the following steps. Affinity Publisher 2-2022-12-02-100400.ips Create a new document. Open the Fields panel Single click on a field, type a word, press Return Double click the same field = crash It will only crash if you double click - single clicking (which is enough to edit the field) doesn't crash. It doesn't matter if the Fields panel is in the left or right studio or if it's undocked. The field you're editing doesn't have to be in the document and I repeated this with several of the fields.
