Crash dragging master to a different document

[MikeTO]

I wondered if I could drag a master page from one document to another so I opened an existing document and created a new one and then floated both windows. With the existing document active, I dragged one its masters over the new document and Publisher crashed instantly when the pointer moved over that window. This is repeatable with different documents and in 2.2 RC3.

I tried it with two new documents and just a single simple master page and didn't experience the crash so there must be something in the more complex documents, perhaps the use of multiple masters. The mouse pointer changed to a + cursor to indicate that I could drop the master but nothing happened when I did.

Hi MikeTO,

Would you be able to provide a copy of the file in question you are dragging the master from so I can pass this on to our developers?

Even better, I tried it again and found it can be replicated with any document that has two masters. Here's a blank test file with just Master B added. Open it, create a new document, and float both documents.

Drag Master A from this file over the new document's window and it won't crash. But if you drag Master B from this file over the new document's window it will crash.

Note that after you restart Publisher you might have to force quit it and then choose not to restore files. It hangs for me after each crash.
