Selecting text crashes Publisher v2


Recommended Posts

Publisher (2.4.2) sometimes crashes when selecting text by "painting" that continues from one text frame to another.

No error message.

I'm not sure what you mean by selecting by painting. Can you clarify exactly what you did, or perhaps show a video?

If it crashes just while drag selecting text then I would try turning hardware acceleration off. If that solves the problem, then you'd have to look into whether you need to update your drivers before turning it back on.

Hi Robocat,

Does this occur with all files or is it just this one file? if its just this one would you be able to provide a copy of it so I can investigate this further with you?

Thanks

Publisher crashes on all files. If you select text from one text frame to another one or more times, Publisher will crash. So try several times.

It doesn't matter whether you select the text immediately a couple of times or once and then, for example, five minutes later again.

Publisher 2.5.0.2415 also crashes 🙄 I'm not sure, but I think that if the text has paragraph formatting, then Publisher crashes. If there is no paragraph formatting, everything is working as it should be?
