Hello! I think that's what happened here, too. I've started working on a "new" document and noticed that some texts don't fit into the defined text boxes. By "new" I mean that I'll always start with the latest issue of that magazine and change the texts etc.
For the latest issue I used 1.5.7, now I'm using 1.5.8. After reading your posting I will try to go back to 1.5.7 and see if everything is fine again, just to exclude used libs (used font didn't change). If it's simply a matter of running 1.5.7 or 1.5.8 I'll try to narrow the problem down. Best regards, Andreas Am Do., 17.
