Publisher 2 Beta taking forever to autoflow and adding pages

[PaoloT]

Hi,

I'm on Mac Monterey (12.6.9), running the latest beta of Publisher.

I opened an IDML file, that only showed a single page.

I then Shift-clicked the red triangle, to let Publisher autoflow the remaining text to automatically added pages.

Publisher is apparently locked since long minutes. CPU time is 100%, but nothing is changing in it. The app is declared non responsive by Activity Manager.

My guess is that a partially embedded SVG file in the IDML file is causing some infinite loop. I sent the IDML file to the main Serif address (not here, since it contains reserved materials), and if needed I can send a spindump.

Hi @PaoloT,

I'm not sure which e-mail address you sent it to, but if you can PM me the IDML file it will be confidential and I'll look into this for you.

Thanks, as mentioned in the PM, that file is actually crashing on open for me on Mac and Windows and does so in 2.1, which I've logged.

If you can open it and save the resultant file I can look into the hang on autoflow issue.
