Publisher 2.3 / Sonoma 14.1.2 / M1 Max MacBook Pro


Recommended Posts

I usually use Publisher on a larger second screen.  Today, I unplugged it to work elsewhere and when I opened my .afpub document it didn't appear on the Mac's screen at all.  With some fiddling, I got to show up on the Mac screen but it opened at the size of the external (larger) screen so all edges of the document were off-screen.  Is something about "last screen used" being retained and Publisher isn't checking either the presence or size of the when it opens a document.

In the top menu, Window > Zoom should fix it for you as a workaround.

Walt .. Thanks for the quick answer, and that this is being worked on, and apologies, in advance, for following this very minor topic down a rabbit hole for a moment longer.  

Dan C said in your attachment, "Unfortunately there's no way to stop this issue from triggering when connecting/disconnecting an external monitor" .. but this appears to me to not be correct because, at least, Mail and Safari both switch, and resize, to the 'native' monitor when the 'external' is unplugged and return to the original monitor with a resize when it's plugged back in.  I admit this issue is minor and there's a decent work-around .. it's also reasonable that programming to cater for such an 'edge case' might be omitted, but it's not impossible.

The issue "[macOS] App Window Disappears after disconnecting and re-connecting an external monitor between app sessions" (REF: AF-417) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.4.0.2211".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
