Duplicating page deletes objects on pasteboard

[amoore]

I see the message when I have an object above or below the page boundary that would be covered by the new page. I'm pretty sure it's happened both when I'm adding a new page and when I'm duplicating an existing page. OTOH, I just tried to make the message display, and it didn't.

When you add a new page, the pasteboard at the bottom of the last page is shrunk so that the two pages appear close together. If you had some objects on that part of the pasteboard then after the addition of the new page they would be hidden and difficult to select but would still take up space and use colours, names and bitmaps, etc., which would be bad.

So the alert box is intended to warn you of that and give you the chance to decide whether to move them or delete them yourself or let the program delete them. However, there are some bugs that make the alert box appear unpredictably.

Having said all that, I can tell you that this area has been revised and you won't see the alert at all in the next version of the program.

Great stuff, I can't wait to see what the next version has in store. For now I've saved my default template with a 4500 margin and will avoid using the area of the pasteboard above/below the page.
