The case of the disappearing table

  • I'm working on a document that has a lot of tables. I was trying to resize a column in one of my tables and every time I did it. Affinity would crash. After a half-dozen tries, I deleted the table and recreated it. That seemed to fix the problem. I exported what I had done to a PDF and moved on to the next page, and created a new table. As soon as I did that, the old table on the previous page just disappeared. Here is a screenshot to prove I actually made the table:

    Now this is what Affinity shows:


    But, some kind of shadow table seems to be here. If I click on the area, I now see this:

    Is there some way to get this table back? I really don't want to recreate it again if I can avoid it.

  • What are the settings for the colour and opacity of the text? Is the old table linked to the new table in any way?
