End Note defect. New End Note causes incorrect numbering of existing footnote text.

[Segar]

Affinify Publisher 2.03
MacOS 13.0.1
Hardware Acceleration: On.

Brief Explanation:
When a second endnote is created after a first (later in the text), the footnote text for footnote 1 is erroneously moved to footnote 2.

Steps to reproduce:
Create new document.
Create text frame and populate with 'Once upon a time'.
Position text cursor at end of 'Once' in the text frame.
View Notes panel.
View End Notes tab.
Click 'Insert Note' icon.
'Endnotes' frame appears on new page.
Drag the 'Endnotes' frame back below the original text frame.
Set Note Position to 'Separate Frame'
('Endnotes' frame erroneously jumps back to where it was ...
... but drag it back to the first page again)
Populate footnote 1 with 'One'.
Position text cursor at end of 'upon' in the original text frame.
Click 'Insert Note' icon.
Footnote 2 is created.
Text for footnote 1 should stay with footnote one ...
... but instead the text for footnote 1 is now attached to footnote 2.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

You created the text for endnote 1 improperly. It belongs between the blue [] marks.

Edit: If I remember correctly, Publisher will have left the cursor there for you to start typing. You've apparently repositioned the cursor to be outside the brackets, then added the text.

Ah! I understand ... and yes, it works for me now. Thank you for the clarification. 

[Maybe not great UI design though! I can imagine why it was coded to be like this ... but I'm not convinced it's the best solution from a usability perspective ... be interesting to see how many other people find it confusing]

Thanks again 🙂
