jaycanuck74 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Anyone else experiencing major slow down on the text-styles panel in Publisher? That's the main thing I'm seeing. There are other things...but this is becoming painful. Alex White 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiriamNZ Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Every time I do anything with the styles window the beach balls spins and spins and spins. Very annoying. Mostly it resolves, though have had quite a few crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Are you on an M1/M2 Mac and if so do you have System Preferences (System Settings) > Displays > Automatically Adjust Brightness turned on? If so, please turn it off, this is a known issue.

Staff EmT Posted December 1, 2022 Staff Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hi @jaycanuck74 I've not been able to replicate this in v2, could you send me a screenshot of your settings in Preferences > Performance. Was there anything specific you were doing in v2 when this occurred? If you could send a screen recording of this in action then that would be helpful.

iceritchie Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Yes i have laggy text box entry and also the beach ball for ages when scrolling text styles. Makes this unusable. Issue remains even with brightness option turned off. Alex White 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex White Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I'm seeing exactly the same problem iceritchie mentions. Twice today I've had the beachball for several seconds - one of them was putting two words in the middle of a text box. M1 Mac. Ran affinity publisher 1.x without a hint of a problem at any time. At the moment I think I'd be better off going back to Affinity 1 for everything, which makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 FWIW sometimes the spinning beachball is due to memory issues. When I'm running low on memory Publisher can take forever and a day to do anything. Best solution is to quit Publisher, close some other apps, and then restart it. This is separate from the M1 beachball issue that was due to the automatic brightness and will happen regardless of the brightness setting. It's also not an issue with Affinity. I keep automatic brightness off most of the time so it's hard for me to track the beachball issue from v1 but I'll turn it on for a while and see what happens.

fatfreemedia Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I'm having the same issue as well. New Mac Studio (M1 Max), macOS Monterey, 32GB RAM. Takes awhile for the panel to update and show the styles. It's brutal. As the original poster mentioned, I've had other issues but this one is the most bothersome.
