postmadesign 98 Posted June 14 I have seen these weird issues when pasting text into a text frame, for instance from a PDF. I believe it misinterprets some kind of end character, as the text basically become a string of vertical characters. It does not happen all the time, so I can't create a screen capture now, but it happens often enough to call it a bug. I have seen this in the latest Beta, and is still there in RC1. I use an iMac 2011 with el capitan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walt.farrell 1,312 Posted June 14 It would help if you would attach a sample .afpub file that demonstrates the issue, and if possible the .pdf file that you copied from. -- Walt Windows 10 Home, version 1903 (18362.145), 16GB memory, Intel Core i7-6700K @ 4.00Gz, GeForce GTX 970 Affinity Photo 1.7.1.404 and 1.7.1.404 Beta / Affinity Designer 1.7.1.404 and 1.7.1.404 Beta / Affinity Publisher 1.7.1.404 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
postmadesign 98 Posted June 15 I made a screen capture to show whats going on: at first I copied a piece of text from a PDF into an empty text frame. The first time everything was OK, then I tapped return to create a new paragraph, and pasted another piece: it goes completely wrong, as you can see. text paste from PDF bug.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
postmadesign 98 Posted June 15 I made another attempt, and I am not sure what is going wrong. I pasted the same text twice, with a line between them: no problem. I pasted another part after a return: no problem. I pasted the part I pasted before: boom, same problem. Perhaps it has something to do with the way characters are interpreted when pasting from PDF. I reported before that it seems to have trouble with german accented characters. This could be related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GabrielM 712 Posted June 19 Hi @postmadesign, Without seeing the original PDF, we cannot investigate this. Thanks, Gabe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
