Jeremy Bohn Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Objects seem to disappear off the pasteboard if you move them high or low enough in the document. In the attached screenshot, the placed Design document is on the pasteboard and it shows up fine when dragging it around above the document but a moment after I stop moving it or let it go, it gets cropped above the bleed area. The same thing happens below the document. Then it shows up again at the bleed area of the second page. Latest beta, macOS Mojave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It is like we have a visible boundary above and below the current page. Move it far enough and it shows up in the next spread but clipped in the original.

Staff Sean P Posted May 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Jeremy, This is by design to avoid objects appearing over other pages above or below the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hi Sean, that may be so but the way it acts it seems like a glitch. As I move the graphic in and out of the workable area, parts of it flicker in and out. That's probably why i thought there was something wrong.

Staff Sean P Posted May 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 10, 2019 I don't get any flickering when I'm moving objects above and below a page. Do you have a video and document you could attach please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hey, here is an example. This time it wasn't so much flickering as pieces of the graphics are popping it and out of visibility.

Jeremy Bohn Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Also I figured out why I thought the object disappearing was a bug... it's because the whole area is the same color and appears to be a giant pasteboard, so I'd expect I can use that entire area. Compare this to InDesign (attached screenshot) where the pasteboard is a separate color (white) from the parts that are off limits. It's quite clear the space you have to work with. So my suggestion would be to make this more clear in Publisher as well. Matthias 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avyclaire Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Thank you Walt, I wasn't in Preview Mode, but the Clip to Canvas command did the trick!! I appreciate the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted May 31, 2019 Staff Share Posted May 31, 2019 With clip to canvas off I can't reproduce that flickering here Jeremy, but it does look wrong, we do clip horizontally to prevent overlapping with multiple pages, but it shouldn't flicker like it does in your video. Does it happen for you on a new document? Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 It happens in a new document too. It appears to do it with vector and bitmap images as well. What seems to set it off is when there are multiple pages and the graphic crosses the oddly invisible area between pages that is off-limits. I've grabbed another screen recording. You'll see that as soon as either graphic is dragged to the other page and I keep moving it around, it no longer moves smoothly. In fact, near the end of that recording you can see the right graphic flashes the selection handles of where it USED TO BE and not where it currently is. The left graphic is vector, the right is bitmap. Screen Recording 2019-05-31 at 11.46.51 PM.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
