Issue with Bleed Causing Misalignment in Facing Pages on Affinity Publisher 2.5.5

[coral]

I am using Affinity Publisher version 2.5.5 on macOS 14.6.1. While creating a new file for a magazine or similar project, I utilize the "facing pages" and "bleed" options. However, when exporting the file as a PDF, some images positioned at the center (where the two facing pages meet) experience misalignment and undesirable results due to the bleed settings.

Unfortunately, the only solution I’ve found is to avoid using the bleed option entirely, but there must be another way to address this issue. Or is this a bug? When performing the same tasks with InDesign, there are no such problems.

I’ve attached a short video to help illustrate the issue more clearly. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter, as I want to continue using the bleed feature. Thank you in advance for your help.

Edit: I’ve also included a sample project for you to test.

Set the inner bleed to 0 to avoid the center fold bleed.
