postmadesign Posted June 14, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 14, 2019 Share 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, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postmadesign Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmadesign Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted June 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi @postmadesign, Without seeing the original PDF, we cannot investigate this. Thanks, Gabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
