garrettm30 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I have discovered that copying certain strings of characters from Publisher 2 and pasting into various rich text editors results in extra spaces added where there was none before. To demonstrate: Open the attached file in Publisher 2. Copy the French word L’État. Paste it into an external program that accepts rich text, such as Apple Pages, Microsoft Word, or even TextEdit in rich text mode. Below are the results I get, in this case pasted directly into this post. First line is copied from the document when opened in Publisher 1.10.6, which works as expected, and second is from Publisher 2.0.3. L’État (Publisher 1.10.6)L’É tat (Publisher 2.0.3) Notice the extra space after the accented E. I have noticed this pattern in numerous words that have an apostrophe (but not a straight apostrophe) followed by an accented character. I also gave a second example it the file which you can try: jusqu’à la fin (Publisher 1.10.6)jusqu’à la fin (Publisher 2.0.3) In this case one space became two, but I notice it is still the same pattern of a space being added following an apostrophe together with an accented character.

garrettm30 Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Besides the time to investigate and report the bug, it took me a good deal of time of actual work to clean up the article when I was copying from Publisher to post as our online version. However, I have since discovered a faster way than manually editing all the errors, and it may be relevant information. For Publisher 2 documents, I have found that I can copy a story and paste it into Publisher 1 in a simple frame, then copy again to paste into the external program. In this way, I still have rich text but without the issues. It’s definitely not ideal, but it will help get me through this until the bug is fixed. Thanks @MikeTO for letting me know about the similar post on Windows, and to @Pyanepsion for your work documenting the issue there too. laurent32 and MikeTO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyanepsion Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 @garrettm30, to check on Mac. At least on Windows, this bug does not appear in version 2.0.0.16.40 which also fixes some annoying bugs from v1. on style, and colour, and page breaks. laurent32 1 Quote 6 cœurs, 12 processus - Windows 11 pro - 4K - DirectX 12 - Suite universelle Affinity (Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo). ███ Mais je vous le demande, peut-on imaginer une police sans sérifs ?
