Publisher v2, may 23 update: issue with text track

[filippoguidarelli]

After the update on may 23, I've experienced a strange issue. In many pages (huge book, 512 pages, 600 pics, 100s of notes...), the text did not fit inside the text boxes anymore, like if the software had changed some values. I checked all the parameters of the style and apparently everything was ok. I always use styles and the only thing that I change is the track, so I focused on that but, apparently, the value of the track looked the same even if the text did not fit in the boxes anymore. I thought I made some mistakes, like changing styles unintentionally, but all the styles were affected by the issue, as long as the text was tracked. I tried to open an other file, but I experienced the same issue. 

I suggest you to not update the software as long as you are working on something huge.

I believe Serif fixed a bug in 2.1 with closing quotation marks at the end of a paragraph being orphaned at the start of a new line. This was a regression from v1 so fixing it reverted the text flow to what it should have been all along. If your text doesn't has flowed differently as a result of this, yes it might be annoying but it's far better for you to notice that now and fix it than to have a quotation mark orphaned on a line by itself.

Other than that, I don't think there were any other changes in 2.1 that affected text flow so perhaps you did change something. I didn't notice any changes in my book.

Got it. I understand the change, and I agree it's better for the future, but unfortunately my company is going to print a book in the next days and it would have been better not to change anything. My suggestion is: if you have a nearly finished work, don't update publisher.
