Overflowing Text

[occasionalpiece]

I'm a newbie, but have some grasp of Text Box functionality.  But this one has me stumped.  I can't find any text that is overflowing, and have reworked this several times.  It only shows up when I try to save it as a PDF,  so wondered if it were a bug.  Attached is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

I believe the red handles on the "Merrion Square" box indicate an overflow condition.

Yes, they do.

Thank you both.  I didn't think to look on the Master for overflowing text issues, which is where it was.

I appreciate your quick response!

Happy New Year.

Old thread resurrection....

 

but I have just encountered this very unhelpful dialogue box. It needs to be improved so it tells you exactly which pages the overflowing text is located on - just like InDesign does. I can't believe that Affinity haven't already implemented a fix in the finished application.

I've just had to search through nearly 100 pages to find just one overflowing text box. Severe PITA!

For the future, there is an easier way: Zoom so the entire document is visible in the workspace (View > Zoom > Zoom to Document) and then the red dots (with View > Show Text Flow active) will be quite obvious.

I tried that but couldn’t see the one red dot at such a small viewing scale. 
 

This problem needs a proper fix.

I agree it needs a fix. It's odd though that you couldn't see the red dot. Zooming out that way usually makes them stand out quite well. In my experience they become almost as large as the page images themselves.
