Steven Nash Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hi, This may be something so blindingly obvious that I apologise in advance if you're reading this and think I'm a bit thick. And this may not be the right forum for this topic, if that's the case - I apologise. I have a few files in Affinity Publisher where when I drag the element or group around the page, the spacing goes a bit crazy. The file was created in Affinity Publisher v1, but when I opened it in v2 it has the same problem. Ideally, this element should just read like a normal sentence (like when I have moved it into the speech bubble in the video below). Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can fix this?

Hangman Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hi @Steven Nash, I suspect you have Text Wrap enabled on the lozenge shape sitting behind your speech bubble. If you select the light pink lozenge and then turn off any text wrap settings you should find all works as expected...

Steven Nash Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 OK, so I am now convinced this is a bug. Watch the video below. It shows that even though the group above the current page is disabled it still exerts some kind of influence over my text. When I delete that layer above entirely, the text fixes itself.

Steven Nash Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Just in case anyone is curious. There's a version of the file attached. It doesn't seem to like a photo in the layer above it (regardless of whether that layer is disabled or not). Very strange. brochure-print-test.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply @Hangman - I've tried your suggestion but that shape doesn't have wrap enabled. This looks to me like a bug, as surely a disabled layer should not be having any influence over an active one. EDIT - you were correct that wrap settings were a factor! But in this case, it was on the photo of the disabled layer above. As soon as I disabled the wrap on there, it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
