Design documents issue in original Draffft

Hi! I've been having an issue I'm not sure to avoid. In the design documents, I'm using just regular text, images and the 'script' box..thingy. I don't know what it's called, the icon that makes a selected part of text formatted like it's script.  

My issue is that sometimes the whole document suddenly becomes 'script' as if I highlighted it all and pressed the button. At first I thought it was me pressing a wrong button, but once this happens, any other document I open takes a little while to load and converts to all script too. If I reimport a project, same thing, I have to close and reopen Draffft...and well,  it always autosaves so I lose that original project because I have to make a new one and reimport what I had exported before the issue happens.


I've had this happen several times, tried making some smaller, separate design files and while doing so suddenly have the issue happen again and lose that project again (restyling everything and reimporting the images every time is a lot of work)

Oh btw! I've had this suddenly happen on a smaller document with no 'script box' .

Also, adding to this,between regular text and 'script' text the file tends to make a lot of spaces when I reopen. I'm adding an example of this:

Hello, thanks for the report!

This is nasty, and I can reproduce it as well, I think the issue is happening when switching between unlocked documents, and if one has at least a code block it glitches out.

Unfortunately I don’t have a short term fix other than to suggest to avoid code snippets as they seem to be the culprit.

On the other hand, If you consider moving to/trying v2, I’d be happy to work something out so you can evaluate it without obstacles.

I see, thanks for the explanation this way I avoid the issue while I make some changes to how I'm documenting stuff : ) 

I'll take a look at v2!

awesome! feel free to reach out at support@drafft.dev I can extend the trial if you find it useful.

Thanks, that's very kind of you. I'm trying to install the trial now, however the installer seems to freeze. Tried on two different computers (windows 11). Do you prefer we keep this thread going via email?

That is really unfortunate!

I tried in a Win 11 VM and it took quite a bit of time to install (around 7 / 10 minutes), I suspect this is a new behavior, as I did not came across this issue before. Not sure if on the windows side or the installer… will research a bit … Meanwhile, can you try waiting a bit to see if it throws an error or finishes?

Yes, that worked! It seemed frozen for about 10 minutes and then suddenly finished the install. Honestly I'm still using windows because I just don't have the time rn to learn and adapt to ubuntu, but things just keep breaking on this OS lol.

I've tried Drafft 2 for a bit, I'm liking the changes! I've only done some design docs stuff, and tried out the kanban section for now.

Thanks for confirming!

I have a lead pn the long install time issue, I think it is caused by Windows 11 real time protection when the installer is unpacking dependencies, this seems to cause long

If I disable it takes about 4 minutes to install (which admittedly feels like too much) image.png

will do some more research, I’m pretty sure this was not an issue before…
