catlover Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Is the Margin setting feature ONLY for Publisher, or valid for Designer & Photo as well ? If so, I think I stumbled upon an issue with setting them. If only valid for Publisher, please disregard this post. Aff.Photo & AffDes Page size = A4, Landscape & Portrait. Printer margins : none (print to edge of paper) ----- As tested in Photo, AffDes 170.14 the same but different method for setting margins. File New>Document>Margins>Set margins at 10mm, sequence T,L,R,B>OK. Only the T,L,R margins show. Also when viewed/set through the GuidesManager. When I choose "Retrieve from Printer" I end up with the margins set at 31,8/25,4/25,4/31,8 mm respectively. The printer's margins themselves are set to NONE, though. When trying to rectify the settings by re-typing in the bottom margin, I end up with the T,L & R margin gone. Please have a look at the attached MOV & scrnshots.Thank you.

Old Bruce Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 I am seeing none of that behaviour here on Mac. Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
catlover Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 I have tested this again, it looks like the problem lies with the SEQUENCE of typing-in the margins : Each time the very last margin typed in won't show, no matter which one is the last, it won't show. Very strange....
fde101 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 What happens if you update it twice? Type it in, press tab, go back to the field and enter the same value again?
catlover Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 Hi, FDE101 : Thanks for the tip, followed your suggestion right away. And what do you know : it works OK when tabbing through the fields & typing in the value, all margins show. It does NOT work when using a combination of tabbing and moving to the next field "manually-click & type" The margin of the field to which I moved the cursor manually & typed in the value doesn't show. I wonder what could cause that ?
