Old Bruce Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 This is on Mac OS 12.6.8. If I have _Words_(.) set in the Find field and \1 with a Paragraph Style chosen then I get a hang with Replace All. Replace seems to work fine, Replace All causes a hang when paired with Story. Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
walt.farrell Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 Did you provide the right response expression in your post? Wouldn't that one just find a string surrounded by underscores, and followed by one character, and Replace the whole thing with that one character and a text style? That feels like something unlikely to want to do.... -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Hangman Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 I can confirm this happens on macOS when the scope is set to either Story or Selection when using normal, non-Regex search terms but only on the second search... When doing a Find and Replace, if the Scope is set to either Story or Selection Publisher will hang on the second search… Steps to Reproduce Create a Publisher document of one or more pages with linked text frames Initiate a Find and Replace Enter both a Find and a Replace term, e.g., Find: Alice | Replace: Andrew Set the scope to either Story or Selection Hit Find Hit Replace All - all works as expected - All instances of Alice are replaced with Andrew Enter a second Find and Replace term, e.g, Find: Andrew | Replace: Alice (Note: any Find and Replace terms cause Publisher to hang) Hit Find Hit Replace All - Publisher hangs Find and Replace.mp4 Old Bruce 1 Affinity Designer 2.6.3 | Affinity Photo 2.6.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.3 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse
