Possible bug with drag-dropping Designer files from an earlier version of Designer into Publisher.

[Jeff Knapp]

I think I found a possible moth. It affects dragging/dropping Designer document into Publisher. This affects Publisher v2.6.2

I place a document from Designer created in an earlier version of Publisher v2.x.x. It places as expected but when I try to save the Publisher v2.6.2, it hangs on the save though the app does not get flagged by Mac OS as "unresponsive." I have to force quite Publisher and relaunch. It is consistently repeatable. I opened the Designer document in Designer v2.6.2, saved it and exported it to a PDF file just in case. That freshly saved version placed as expected and I was able to save it with no issues. Saving the Designer file out with v2.6.2 corrected the problem. The bug appears to be with Designer files last saved in a previous version of Designer since resaving it with v2.6.2 solved the problem. I suspect that it may be the case across all three of the apps but I have not tested it.

Can you post one of these Designer (?) files that hangs APub 2.6.2?

I think you know who the late great Grace Hopper was.

A shot in the dark; Are the files from earlier on a network or cloud service?

If you move or duplicate the problem file using the Finder (Mac OS) or File Explorer(?) (Windows OS) does the problem persist? If yes then as R C-R has asked it would be good if you could post the file here.
