A_B_C Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Please try the following: Create a new text frame. Insert some text, and place the caret cursor somewhere in the text. Use the Glyph Browser Panel to insert an additional glyph at the caret cursor position by double-clicking the respective glyph in the Panel list. Without clicking anywhere else, use the Backspace key. Expected behavior: The inserted glyph is deleted. Actual behavior: The entire text frame is deleted, even if the caret cursor is still shown inside the text frame. In the following screencast, you cannot see that I pressed the Backspace key, after inserting /abreve/ and moving the cursor to the left, above the text frame. But you can see that the entire text frame is deleted, even if the (non-blinking) caret is still indicating the insertion point in the text frame. Backspace.mov This behavior is, if not a bug, highly inconvenient. When you intend to select glyph alternates, you will often want to try out things in context, that is, you will want to insert glyphs and have the option to simply undo the insertion by pressing Backspace, then insert a different alternate. So double-clicking a glyph in the Glyph Browser Panel should never remove focus from the current insertion point in a text frame. Compare how the macOS glyph panel works. After double-clicking a glyph to insert it in a text area (like /abreve/ in the example below), you can simply press Backspace to undo your insertion: macOS-Glyph-Panel.mov Thank you for your attention.

walt.farrell Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 My guess: this is another example of AF-570.

Hangman Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Hi @A_B_C, This is specific to the Gyph Panel being docked, it is already logged as a bug (as per @walt.farrell's post)... The workaround until this bug is fixed is to undock the Glyph panel... walt.farrell and A_B_C 2 Quote Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 Affinity Designer Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Photo Beta 2.6.0.2861 | Affinity Publisher Beta 2.6.0.2861 MacBook Pro M3 Max, 36 GB Unified Memory, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, Magic Mouse HP ENVY x360, 8 GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, Windows 10 Home, Logitech Mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeTO Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I hope this bug gets fixed soon, almost every time I work with text frames that aren't on master pages I end up having them deleted by accident and need to undo. Fortunately, my main text frames are on master pages and are safe from deletion when edited on document pages, but this is an annoying bug. walt.farrell, A_B_C and Hangman 3 Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.5 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.5 for macOS Sequoia 15.1, MacBook Pro 14" (M4 Pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Thank you, everyone! — I had searched the forum before posting, but didn’t find the issue mentioned by Walt. That makes sense. So I agree with what Mike said: hope this is fixed soon. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
