I turned off the Dejavu.xnt extension and things seem to be fine. Haven't seen document X pop up, and all the mysterious font problems have disappeared. Thanks!

I had some erratic behavior from a Quark file once when using a similar version on similar OS and in the end I tracked it down to the Dejavu.xnt each time I opened a specific Quark file Photoshop would open the same image over and over. After disabling this XT in the manager the problem went. I just used the OS's recent items from then on instead.

I did try this but the behaviour bizarrely persisted, as if it was Quark itself having the problem, not the file. I also got erratic behaviour after I deleted file X and then put it back: saving file Y went smoothly for a while, then file X started opening again.

Am I going mad?

I'll try rewriting the master page again though, and post again if nothing changes. Thanks!

Why are these documents so mysteriously linked?

You've largely answered your own question

zbrntt:
I opened a document X, deleted everything in it except the master pages, and resaved it as document Y.

Try starting a new document from scratch, and copy (or set up) your master pages in it. Something is still linking the two earlier versions

Unrelated file keeps reopening on save (Quark 6.1)

Hi,

I'm running Quark 6.1 on MacOS 10.3.9 and experiencing some really annoying behaviour.

I opened a document X, deleted everything in it except the master pages, and resaved it as document Y. Now I'm writing document Y. The annoying behaviour is as follows: EVERY TIME I save document Y, Quark has to reopen document X (or bring it to the front if it's already open). When I save Y, Quark also complains that document X has unavailable fonts, even though Y doesn't use these fonts.

I'm one of those paranoid users who saves a document every two minutes or so. This behaviour is driving me crazy: I keep seeing document X popping up every time I save. What is going on? Why are these documents so mysteriously linked?

I should add that I tried wiping document X from my system: now I get a File not found error message every time I save Y. I've also ripped out the Quark preferences. And this is a recent thing: I've been using Quark on this machine for years without this problem.

Thanks for any help,

Zoe
