Replace all in Find and Replace still crashes the progrm

[Old Bruce]

Works well here, 400+ pages of text and over 500 instances found and replaced couple of times.

Not for me on Mac

What exactly (or approximately) are you replacing, my test was really simple, one underscore replaced with an en dash then back again.

[Roger terry]

in the most recent, replacing e.g. with eg

Instant failure.

The simplest way to reproduce (or not) the issue: Attach a Publisher file and tell us exactly, what to do.

[Roger terry]

The file is 350Mb so not so practical but I will start another file and see what happens. I have also found that Text Wrap doesn't work in this file, but does if I start a new file.

You are talking about find and replace. Delete all images, or create a new document with an amount of text, where you can reproduce the issue. Shouldn’t be that difficult.

[Roger terry]

Yes I will do that. For my original file I can only do it one by one. But why should that be?

It should not be. finding 'e.g.' and replacing it with 'eg' should take two mouse clicks. If you can say in which version you have this problem it might help us too.

Hi Roger terry

This is something I;m not able to get either. A file that demonstrates the issue as other have suggested may be required.

Thanks

I will make a screenshot video and post it.

A video is unlikely to help. A sample file would be much more useful.

I cut a file down from 350Mb to 20Mb and it is attached here. Crashes just the same.

Crashed here.

Here's another .afpub which crashes on "Replace All" ...f & r crash.afpub

And the crash report: Affinity Publisher Beta_2018-11-24-030244_mbp1.crash

[thomaso]

One more crashing f & r document (1.4 MB with few text on 2 pages only) ...f & r _ every frame & crash.afpub

And 3 related crash reports ... Affinity Publisher Beta_2018-11-24-183822_mbp1.crash
Affinity Publisher Beta_2018-11-24-184511_mbp1.crash
Affinity Publisher Beta_2018-11-24-184632_mbp1.crash

 

Just noticed: it appears to do a search and find in the complete document – regardless whether a textframe is selected or not.

– Can I prevent this behavior or somehow limit a "Replace All" to particular frames or pages?

I would have thought yes but I can't find out how either. Seems like a stupid choice for find and replace to be not able to restrict itself to smaller sections.
