Publisher 1.7.1 hangs when pages are deleted

[adrm]

I just loaded a small Publisher file I have previously set up to use as a template. This file contains some 15 pages of random text and when I delete the 14 last ones, Publisher will go into a "non-responding" state seconds later.

I can't include the file here since it's modified from a template I've purchased, i.e. it's not freely shareable.

you can upload it securely here

If you can let us know the supplier of the template too in case the issue is lurking in there.

I'll upload shortly.

I recreated the template manually from the Word and ID files I received from them, so any mistakes will be 100% mine

Sorry, I uploaded the wrong file to that link. The correct one is named Ellison AfDesigner.afpub

I think it's something to do with the pinned image on page 1. If I unpin it it disappears and I can delete the other pages without it hanging

Good to hear it's reproducible. I didn't have the problem with the same file in the last beta(s) before release.

It's logged as a bug, right?

Pinned images have been giving us trouble. If you could try recreating that page in the beta version we would be interested to know if it now works fine

I didn't have time to recreate it from scratch.

I tried opening it in the beta, unpinning the image (making it vanish), then pasting the image back from another source. I then saved a new version of the file.

This still produced a crash to desktop in v1.7.1 when the last 14 pages were deleted.

Can you check this in the latest beta? It seems fine in 1.7.2 for me
