Publisher hang during Find and Replace

[walt.farrell]

Method of recreation:

1. Close and re-open Publisher.
2. Open the toot2.afpub file attached below.
3. In the Find and Replace panel, put "toot" (without quotes) in the Find field, and "tweet" in the Replace with field.
4. Click Find, then click Replace All.

At that point, for me, Publisher is hung and will not respond to mouse clicks anywhere in the UI. According to Windows Task Manager it is using very little CPU. It can only be terminated by using End Task in the Windows Task Manager.

This is an easy to follow instruction. To my surprise clicking on Find doesn't do anything. It finds nothing and 'Replace all' stays greyed out.

Strange. It finds 4 occurrences for me.

Update: on my first try I typed in 'toot' and this didn't find anything.

On my second try after your reply I copied 'toot' from the text in the document and I can reproduce the hang.
In task-manager I see two entries under 'Affinity Publisher Beta': 'Affinity Publisher Beta' and 'crashpad_handler.exe'. 

I was able to 'kill' the two from task-manager.

The only question that remains is, what makes you type in 'toot' and try to replace it with 'tweet'

It's a variation (without the master page) of a different issue that I posted about in this thread:

Thanks for your post walt.farrell,

I have been able to replicate this - I'll get it logged with the developers
