Hi @Iztok,

Could you upload the file shown in your screen recording so we can take a look at what is going on?

Um, this appears to have something to do with the Page Reflow but I'm unsure at the moment what exactly is causing the issue...

If you uncheck Anchor Towards Spine under Page Move Options in the Pages Panel Preferences deleting Page 1 or adding a new page after Page 1 doesn't flip the graphic...

Equally, if you leave Anchor Towards Spine enabled but Group the elements on Page 2 and then delete Page 1 the graphic isn't flipped...

I'll test further to try and figure out what is going on and why.

If you are using the 2.6 beta, and reporting issues that happen in the beta but not in the 2.5 release, you need to use the beta section of the forums, @Iztok.

The overall set of forums is here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/32-beta-software-forums/

Reporting issues is described here:

Hi @Iztok,

Basically, you need to turn Anchor Towards Spine off under Page Move Options in the Pages Panel Preferences to stop the objects being translated when appearing on the opposite side of the spine or as mentioned above, Group the objects before deleting Page 1...

Looking at how Anchor Towards Spine is designed to work, I believe this is the expected behaviour...

But I just delite a page, this should not happened at all, do you tell al the users the same? I didn't change any settings, that mean, that is default? Why are you complicate things? In 2.5, that didn't happened.

In the v2.6 Beta, Anchor Towards Spine is enabled by default in the Page Move Options Page Preferences which perhaps it shouldn't be...

In v2.5.5 and earlier my assumption (rightly or wrongly) is that despite not being an option the user can set because there is no menu option for the setting, internally the option is likely not enabled by default which is why we are seeing the differing behaviour between 2.5.5 and the 2.6 Beta though perhaps someone at Serif can clarify if this is what is actually happening?

I think it would make sense for the option to be off by default in the 2.6 Beta, that way we would see the same behaviour in both versions...

Note: The objects are not flipped, they are simply anchored in the 2.6 Beta because Anchor Towards Spine is enabled by default. If you look carefully at orange quarter circles in relation to the adjacent orange vertical rectangles you'll see that it's only their position that has changed, i.e., they're anchored towards the spine they're not physically flipped along the horizontal axis...

I've added a screen recording to your other post in the Other New Bugs and Issues in the Betas to better demonstrate what is happening...
