MikeTO Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 This is a repeatable crash as well as an issue with the text cursor placement. Open the attached document - the text is justified, auto hyphenation is on, and column end zone is set to a value other than 0. Click in a line with a hyphen. Note that the cursor isn't drawn at the correct locations, it's off by couple of pixels here and there. Use the Move Line Begin shortcut, then Move Line End, and then Move Line Begin again. This will crash Publisher. The text doesn't need to be justified to crash Publisher. This screen recording is from the 2.4 beta but it's not beta specific, that's just the version I normally use. test.afpub Affinity Publisher 2 Beta-2024-03-19-232246.ips Screen Recording 2024-03-19 at 11.21.13 PM.mov Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, Tahoe 26.1) and iPad Air (M2, iPadOS 26.1)

Martyn Folkes Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 See this thread. The cursor placement issue also happens on Windows. I can't confirm the Move Line Begin/End issue because I can't find the shortcuts! Affinity latest stable version + beta on Windows 11

The text doesn't need to be justified to crash Publisher. FWIW, the crash happens as soon as the value reaches 17.1 pt (1p5.1) or above... Values below this don't cause the crash...

Martyn Folkes Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Home and End work. Thanks. I hunted through Settings but gave up because I couldn't find them in what I thought were the obvious places.

Martyn Folkes Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 I have tried to make a screen recording, but Game Bar can't see the setting dialog for some reason -- it just shows the mouse moving about but no dialog. Another bug? Something odd about the settings dialog? But trust me, it ain't there in Windows: Affinity latest stable version + beta on Windows 11
Hangman Posted March 20, 2024 Posted March 20, 2024 Just for clarity as there appear to be differences between the way Mac and Windows display the setting options... This is the full list on macOS... Text Input has its own category towards the bottom of the list and has nothing to do with the Tools options... I believe the option is simply not available on Windows.

MikeTO Posted March 20, 2024 Author Posted March 20, 2024 I feel like we've encountered this difference between Mac and Windows before and the text input shortcuts are located somewhere else on Windows.

You don't need to file another bug report for the cursor issue, this is what this thread is for, both the cursor issue and the crash bug. It doesn't matter that I created it in the macOS forum, your report of the issue on Windows would be used to log that it's for both platforms.
