List of Pages Pages 5.2 fixes and bugs

Please put together here any Pages 5.2 fixes you have tested that work.


Also document any Pages 5.2 bugs.


If you have a standing issue from Pages 5, 5.01 or 5.1 can you test if Pages 5.2 corrects them.

Right to Left text fixes


There are now two options in:


Menu > Format > Text > Reverse Text Direction/Reverse Column Order


Which fixes the problem of RtoL text flowing incorrectly in columns LtoR. This should happen automatically however rather then having to be manually changed.


Latin left to right text now falls in the correct position within the Hebrew ie to the left of punctuation and the insertion point.


A quick test of TextWrap around objects indicates this works correctly as well.


Could any Hebrew, Arab, Dari or Pashtu speakers please test the extent to which this now fixes the RtoL problems?


I have discovered a bug in the text layout.


I can not click at the beginning of the RtoL text where it starts at the 1st (right hand) column of a layout break. The cursor jumps to the end of the first set of styled text.


Thank you.

With respect, Peter, I only posted 'broken text box links' here because of you post on another page with a link, which says


Tracy


Don't just say "broken", say why they are broken.


Custom formats in cells are back and you can now paste images into cells.


If you have noted specific bugs or features could you please add them here:

Sorry if I misunderstood YOUR post!


You'll forgive me for saying that the language you use is unnecessarily stern. To Tracy, you could just as easily have said, "I'd be very grateful if you could expand on that and explain why they're broken;" to me you might have said, "Hi Hiley, this page is only mean't for X, could you add your note to page Y instead"


Thanks

Sorry I assumed a modicum of commonsense.


The title above says it all.


If you go repeating every single whinge about Pages 5 since it came out, the details on this list about Pages 5.2 will just get buried.


My reply to Tracy was to Tracy and was what it said, without waffle.


It is obviously a good idea to say what is broken not leave it totally vague. Many people simply get it wrong. If we don't even know what you are talking about how can we check?


This post is a systematic checklist. Lets stick to that. By all means do the watercooler in your own post.
