matw-web Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) When I do a spread and put an image with text wrap (tight / both sides / TrimBox) near the text, everything looks fine, so I save the file. However, when I reopen the file, the text reacting to a text wrap will either justify itself on the side touching the image or disappear partially as above. I have to select the image and move it ever so slightly before the text will reappear. Even then the text will shift slightly and my layout will have to be tweaked again. What might be going on with this? rough example images attached: screenshot 1 (before saving file), screenshot 2 (after re-opening saved file) Edited November 30, 2023 by matw-web removed two words "as above" that were referring to an image that I didn't upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi @matw-web and welcome to the forums, This sounds like a screen redraw issue... when it happens, does zooming the page in or out also restore the text wrap?

matw-web Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Thanks for replying, Hangman. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve it. I also thought maybe it was because the image was a layered PSD image, so I resaved it in .afphoto format. Problem still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi @matw-web, Thanks for confirming, are you able to upload a sample file demonstrating the issue so we can take a look?

matw-web Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Sample file attached! (This is a rough, example layout not anything for an actual publication.) Thanks in advanced for taking time to look at it. example-package.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi @matw-web, Thanks for the files... this would appear to be a bug, however substituting the .afpub cut out for a .tiff version appears to rectify the issue... I've also tested this in Publisher 1.10.6 and it appears to work without issue using a .afpub cutout. Hopefully someone in the moderation team can move the post to the appropriate v2 Bugs forum... Could you confirm whether you're using Mac or Windows... I've tested on macOS which is where I'm seeing the issue in v2.

Staff Callum Posted November 30, 2023 Staff Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi Matw-web, I have logged this with our developers to be fixed in a future update. Thanks C Hangman 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matw-web Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thank you, Hangman, for the temporary workaround. You are appreciated. And thank you, Callum, for submitting this bug. I've been using Affinity Publisher for large publications and continue to be impressed... and using InDesign less and less! (Side note: If Potrace could be worked into Affinity Design, I'd probably leave Adobe products all together. Ha! It does a far better job of tracing / converting bitmap images to vector art than Adobe Illustrator's tools do.) Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi @matw-web, Hopefully, the temporary workaround is enough for you to complete your project until we see a fix for the issue with .afpub files...

matw-web Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 I wanted to confirm that, yes, Hangman's smart workaround works and works well. Thanks so much for this! Feels great not having to readjust 6 pages of text each time I re-open the file. People like you make the Internet great. My best to you.

matw-web Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Saw the latest Affinity Suite updates are available. Great! As I was looking over the release notes, I didn't seen anything that indicated this bug had been fixed, but maybe I'm missing something?

I believe this was just a very small update to fix some new bugs that were introduced in 2.3.

matw-web Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind since I'll then need to use the workaround above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
