    Bug Top of Page Link fails Sharing across Variants

    Dear Xara...

    Bug#003 - If I Link to <Top of page> and then Share across Variants, the Link is changed to Page: <Page filename>.

    Thanks.

    Egg, thank you.

    Amazing how a little thing can cause so much searching to discover why a site is not working correctly.
    The Bug goes back as far as v15; I have not checked any further.

    Acorn,

    I found the error does not occur when you only have two variants, but does when you add a third variant. Stranger too, is if I delete the second variant the third variant corrects itself from page filename to top of page.

    No idea if this makes any sense?

    Cheers Gary, I get it for creating a second Variant alone when the ToP object is immediately Shared.

    I have just experimented with adding the ToP Link after the Variant is created and that works.
    It always fails if you create a new Variant.

    You can fudge it by removing and re-applying the ToP link.

    If Xara is using indexes to identify which item in the Link to array, I think one developer used JavaScript count from zero and the second is counting from one, in error.
