Radius issue and PDF Export Preview in Publisher

[Jonah1105]

1. I'm having issues when I want to change the shape and radius of shape. I think it's a bug. When I change the shape of the radius and change the value, it automatically sets itself to a normal curved border radius. I have to then change the curve shape.

2. When I export a PDF I would like to preview through all my pages, but I dont see an option to go through. Am I missing something or the feature not present?

I work on a Windows 11 PC with the renderer being my NVIDIA GPU and Hardware Accl enabled.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jonah1105 welcome to the forums,

The issue with the corner radius changing back to curved automatically when adjusting the radius value it not expected behaviour, however I've not been able to replicate this in Publisher on a new document, if you create a new document and add a rounded rectangle, does this same issue occur?

If I'm not mistaken I believe the export preview is limited to the initial page currently.

Hi Nathan!,

Thanks for replying, and yes the issue still occurs even after creating a new document. I even restarted my PC to see if it was something temporary. But the issue is still there.

Thanks for confirming, if it's not too much trouble, do you mind downloading and trying this on the latest 2.1 beta app? It's easy to do and downloads along side/separate to the current release version. I've provided a link below which details how to get access to download the beta.

If it still occurs, do you mind send me a new screen recording of this issue happening from scratch on a new doc in the beta?

Many thanks in advance!

Sure, will do.

I installed the beta version of Publisher, seemed like the issue was resolved. But by the end of the video the issue came back again.

Thanks for the follow up recording, I have now managed to replicate this now after creating a rectangle > untick single radius > Set BR corner to Cutout/Anything but Rounded > press the dropdown and then this auto changes the shape to a rounded rectangle and sets the corner type to rounded. I'll get this logged with the developers, many thanks for your assistance.
