postmadesign Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 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.
walt.farrell Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 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 Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

postmadesign Posted June 15, 2019 Author Posted June 15, 2019 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
postmadesign Posted June 15, 2019 Author Posted June 15, 2019 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.
Staff Gabe Posted June 19, 2019 Staff Posted June 19, 2019 Hi @postmadesign, Without seeing the original PDF, we cannot investigate this. Thanks, Gabe.
