nwhit Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Just started with the new beta on a couple projects (6-page A4 pubs) from ID pdf files. Just noticed that with a full-page 100% view, if I draw a selection rectangle around everything on a page, if I stretch past the current 100% view on the bottom, the marquee disappears and I no longer see the blue selection box or outline. It does select things, although I can't really tell where it left off with a lot of items/layers since the selection box disappeared. I end up deselecting everything, then carefully dragging the marquee and avoiding going off the edge of the window. Thinking it has to be a bug since it makes it pretty tough to drag a larger selection of everything on a page and adjacent pasteboard. -------------------- New: 2023 Mac Studio M2 MAX 12-Core CPU/38-Core GPU 64GB Memory • 5k Studio Display • Sonoma Prev: 2020 iMac 27 i7 (5k Rez), 72GB, AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT 16GB • Sonoma MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Sonoma iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhit Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Playing with it some more, if I hold the drag and move it back up above the bottom of the page, the box eventually comes back in a sec or two. But once I drag even slightly below the bottom of the page, the box disappears. -------------------- New: 2023 Mac Studio M2 MAX 12-Core CPU/38-Core GPU 64GB Memory • 5k Studio Display • Sonoma Prev: 2020 iMac 27 i7 (5k Rez), 72GB, AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT 16GB • Sonoma MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Sonoma iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Bohn Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Maybe you're dragging past the edge of the artboard? Publisher doesn't clearly define the out of bounds area above and below pages and the artboard is actually pretty short. What looks like white accessible space is actually not.

nwhit Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 In Publisher, it's pages. And it happens when I drag the marquee down past the end of the page bottom, which is a very common thing when selecting either all elements on a page or even when selecting elements at the bottom section of a page. Do it almost everyday and have for years. Not sure when this started in APub, but don't remember it prior to the newest beta, but could be wrong about that. Have normally used ID for most client work (doesn't happen there) but trying to migrate as best I can. My best guess is that the software "thinks" I have tried to select a part of the next page, so shuts off the marquee. But that makes it pretty tough to use the selection marquee to select things at the bottom of a page, much less all items on a page (and not get items on the aside/pasteboard). But I'm just guessing. Just hope they can fix it. -------------------- New: 2023 Mac Studio M2 MAX 12-Core CPU/38-Core GPU 64GB Memory • 5k Studio Display • Sonoma Prev: 2020 iMac 27 i7 (5k Rez), 72GB, AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT 16GB • Sonoma MacBook Pro, 13", M1 2020 • 16 GB • macOS Sonoma iPad Air 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
