Hangman Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Hi @anto, I've just tested with a new document on Monterey and so far haven't been able to replicate this... When you see this happening, does zooming the canvas display the missing text? If not could you upload the sample document used in your screen recording so we can test it?

anto Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 It seems that problem creates Flow option panel. When i create new document all options are turn on. But even stranger is that some frames have these options enabled and everything works. Why are these checkboxes enabled by default if they cause problems? Or where is the problem? 2024-01-18 о 09.50.46.mov bug_text_2402240.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sean P Posted January 18 Staff Share Posted January 18 Hi Anto, You've correctly identified the Flow Options - they're all fighting with each other trying to keep every paragraph together creating the oddities you're seeing. Disabling all of these for all paragraphs will solve the issues for you. I suspect at some point (not necessarily with this version) with a beta build you may have saved a text frame default (for example you may have had a frame with a font and size you like so have saved the defaults) with these options enabled, so every time you create a new document it uses that font and size. You can fix this by having highlighting a piece of text and go to Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset and then Edit > Defaults > Save. Every time you create a new document it should now use Arial 12pt, with all flow options disabled (and also reset any other defaults that you may have changed regarding paragraph formatting) Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 This is very strange because in the newspaper I have checkboxes enabled in all frames for some reason, but only one of them has a problem. 12 minutes ago, Sean P said: Edit > Defaults > Factory Reset and then Edit > Defaults > Save That helped.

anto Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I discovered another problem. The text flow can be applied to either text or the whole frame. When you change the flow for a part of the text, the text frame should show "-", but it doesn't control this and doesn't even say that the text in the frame has changed. 2024-01-18 о 12.57.24.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 And I think the Text Flow function is not working properly. It can't be that in version 2.3.1 everything works with all the options enabled, but in the beta it doesn't. I copied the text frame from the beta and pasted it into 2.3.1 and it works with all the options enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get this logged with development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also get this behaviour as well in 2.3.1 as well. However I don't understand why you would want to use both 'Keep with previous paragraph' and 'Keep paragraph together' throughout the entire body of text. It is trying to effectively keep all of your text on the same page or frame as all the other text. These options are normally only selectively applied to specific paragraphs to fine tune where you want them to appear. Having all of them options enabled, is just inviting problems and a lot of 'fighting' with the text.

I don't want to do this. I don't remember exactly when I turned this option on or if I turned it on. If I analyze the old files, I see that some frames have all 4 options enabled, and some do not. The error occurred in the beta version when I opened an old file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behavior of text flow with the Flow options enabled can be very strange, but it will always depend strongly on the exact length of the paragraphs. It can generally be explained, but only with the document available to be examined, in my experience.
