Publisher: Page Range doesn't update Page/Sheet View display

[Compositor K]

Affinity Publisher on Mac, Ventura 13.3.1. Worth reporting, I think, though it might be a Ventura issue, not an Affinity issue--I gather Ventura has problems with Print controls.

Page View / Sheet View display at left of Print Panel:

Minor but annoying:

When a page range is entered (Range And Scale > Pages), the Page/Sheet View display doesn't update unless you click and show the Range popdown menu above the Pages field. (You don't have to actually change the range in the popdown.) Video below.

Not a serious problem. Once I've input the desired range, only that range will be printed if I hit Return or Print. It doesn't matter that the display still shows the entire page range.

But it's scary, since I've learned to look to the Page/Sheet display to confirm that I've got the settings right.

Hi Compositor K,

If you hit the tab key after entering your page range does this issue still occur or do the page previews automatically update along the left hand side?

Thanks

@Callum

Hitting the Tab key does indeed make the page previews update.

Thank you Callum!

I just heard from Lee D in another thread that Affinity is stuck with a whole print UI from Apple. That explains many things that have bothered me about the Print panel.
