nwhit Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Just noticed that the ability to drag gutters within a text frame seems to vanish after working with a text frame. Not sure what causes it to go away, but when I create a new text frame, add columns, try to drag columns/gutters, it works fine. But as soon as I stretch or resize the text frame, I can no longer adjust the gutters (by grabbing the gutters and moving them). Thus once a text frame is changed in size, cannot drag the gutters.

nwhit Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Aha! Just figured it out! Much like the issues with tables, once the size of the text frame is changed, the location of the gutter drag handles is no longer aligned to the new gutter locations! If you hover over the columns of text, you will eventually see the handles, and they actually work! But a bit of a bug if you don't know what's going on!

nwhit Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks. Just downloaded the new beta 420 and it appears from initial testing it is fixed. That wold be great! Just tried it on an an existing document and it sometimes works and other times doesn't. In some cases, can't find the adjustment point/cursor at all until the text frame is changed to different columns and widths manually. But still fairly often, the drag handles are still misplaced. Got my hopes up too quickly!

nwhit Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 As an update, it now appears that PERHAPS if you open a doc made in 1.7.1, the bug is still there with existing text frames. If you create a new text frame in beta 1.7.2 (in a new doc or even in an older doc), the bug seems to be gone. While that is helpful, would mean a lot of work to "repair" all existing docs done in 1.7.1 by having to replace most of the existing text frames.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted January 21, 2020 Staff Share Posted January 21, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Gutter drag handles become misaligned when text frame is scaled) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts. Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.535 for Mac These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version. Once these programs have been through a full beta process the changes/fixes will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
