Odd Display Behavior in Affinity Publisher Photo Persona

[Aventhar]

I have this odd view behavior in Affinity Publisher's Photo Persona after using 'New Pattern Layer from Selection'. The pattern goes outside the bounds of the actual document and extends infinitely to the left and right no matter how far I zoom out. I have attached an image to explain this better than I can with words.

This behavior does NOT occur when doing the same in the full Affinity Photo application (also 2.5.0)

Thanks!

Hi @Aventhar,
Welcome to Affinity Forums

Thanks for reporting this issue. I'm logging this to be looked at.
Note however If you are building a pattern, Affinity Photo (or Designer) are a bit more adequate tools for this.
The Personas in Publisher are meant to be used mostly as a complement to facilitate the editing of a Publisher document's objects (images, vector objects, etc.) rather than used as independent creative tools. There are functions that are not meant to be used with page-based documents, nor do its Personas contain all the functions/Personas of the individual apps (Photo and Designer).
