Intuos5 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 When I float a group (with an image and description) in a text frame that is determined by a masterpage, duplicating the group changes the size of the group. This is in Publisher 2.2.1, Windows 10.0.19045. Video 2023-11-08 14-04-50.mp4 Steps to reproduce Create a masterpage with 2 text columns Apply the masterpage to a document page Fill the text frame with placeholder text Create an image frame and a text frame below, put content in both Group the image frame and text frame from step 4 Optionally apply text wrap to the group Float the group in the text (pinning) Duplicate the group (I used a hotkey for Duplicate in the video, copy paste doesn't create the bug) Notice how the bounding box of the group has changed Unpinned image changes size.afpub Also, the contents of the duplicated group are left inside the masterpage folder, which I am personally not happy with, because I always have to detach the masterpage before I can edit the copied group. Same applies to copy pasting, think it is similar to what I reported here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think this might have been previously reported but I can't recall for sure. If you pin a group, scale it, and duplicate it, the resulting duplicate will often be a different size. I've duplicated this with a picture and a shape, and with a text frame and a shape.

Intuos5 Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 This group was never scaled, I pinned it immediately after grouping and duplicated it straight thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 One of the items in the group had probably been previously scaled. I just duplicated it with two rectangles grouped together.

Staff Lee D Posted November 9, 2023 Staff Share Posted November 9, 2023 @MikeTO It also sounds familiar but I can't seem to find a report. What workflow did you use to duplicate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is the trigger but if it doesn't happen the first time, undo the duplicate and the scale then scale the group again. It usually happens to me the second time. Here's a screen recording.
