Text columns field vanished!

macOS 10.13.6 MacBook Pro 13"

Hi, the screen being shorter on 13" screens, the columns control for text is out of menu. So you have to click on the extension symbol. But it is impossible to set columns number because the selector field isn't here :

 

Best regards and thank you for Affinity Publisher who looks so gorgeous!

Obviously the bug needs fixing, but as a workaround you can also get to Columns in View > Studio > Text Frame panel.

Thanks for the work around. I've submitted the same bug issue on my 13" mac.

I have the same Toolbar bug.

Note: This same Toolbar Bug first appeared and occurs in QuarkXPress v2016. It appeared to be MacOS / Mac configuration specific and was fixed by Quark in v2017 and v2018. Their workarounds for v2016 were the same.

If Serif cannot solve this easily, they might wish to contact the engineers at Apple to see why this happens.

Current Testing Configuration:

Hi. On the beta version on Mac (High Sierra), when you choose two or more columns in View > Studio > Text Frame panel, AD crashes.

Thanks Frankm

I've reported this to the development team
