Vanishing Text When Changing the Document DPI

[Hangman]

In the 2471 Beta changing the document resolution results in vanishing text...

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new single or multi-page 300 dpi A4 Publisher Document
2. Add text frames on the page or via the Master Page
3. Insert some Filler Text
4. Change the Document resolution from 300 dpi to 72 dpi
5. A big chunk of the text vanishes
6. Change the document back to 300 dpi, there is text missing on the first page and overflowing text on the third page

I'm not able to duplicate this.

Is the text really gone or is just a rendering issue? If you zoom in does anything change? Can you arrow through text that is invisible?

I can reproduce this, it looks like a redraw issue but it isn't, zooming out doesn't fix it. Moving the text frame however seems to recompose the text and then it's fine

If you undo/redo after changing DPI that might help reproduce it @MikeTO

I'll get it logged

Hi @Jon P,

Thanks for testing and logging…

I’ll run some additional tests to see how or whether it impacts longer form documents…

Initially I didn’t see any issues when opening a 2.4.2 document but I’ve only tested in a limited capacity so far…
