[Publisher] Optical alignment cuts off parts of glyphs in some (not all) text frames

[b.kaas]

Hello!

Here you see two details from one document (each with screenshot from APu2 and pdf). In one case the opitcal alignment workes properly: the initial ist shown (and exported to pdf) completely, in the other case the intitial is cut off, in APu als well as on pdf. Other glyphs (which were affected by the optical alignment) behave the same way.

Both paragraphs have the same text style, freshly reapplied. I can not find any difference in the text frame stettings.

I found out a workaround by using the vector crop tool: I slightly expand the affected text frames.

Does anyone have an explanation?

Is this a bug?

The cutting-off appears only in one section of the document, where text frames were copied often. The .afpub was originally an .idml.

I'm unable to duplicate this. Would it be possible for you to copy this text frame to a test document and upload it here? You could delete the irrelevant text and just share these few lines with the issue.

Thanks

This might indicate that the affected text frame has been previously cropped by a nested layer, otherwise there wouldn't be anything to "expand" visually. – Like this right text frame:

That's it, thomaso! Great! I was not expecting that.

So at an early stage one of us might have made some experiments with cropping and "fixed" it by pushing the cropping border on the border of the text frame. As long as there is no charakter which ist affectet by the optical alignment, one does not notice the damage at all.

Thank you a lot!
