Thanks Old Bruce, that's a very good point! My real use case is more complex than .*, but using + in place of * where appropriate fixes the crashes It creates another issue though: I'm searching for bold text in a particular paragraph style (Body), if the bold text is 'alone' in the line: My Bold Text everything works as expected, if the bold text precedes normal text: My Bold Text: Other non bold text It appears in the 'Find' results, but I can't click the result / clicking doesn't do anything - it doesn't jump to it in the file; clicking 'Replace' also doesn't do anything

Are you using the latest release version? yes, 2.0.4 Can you reproduce it? Create a new design Add text with text style 'Heading 1' Add other text on a new line with text style 'Body' 'Find' with regex expressions on Change in 'Find/Settings/Format/Character/' the 'Font weight' to Bold Search for `.*` : it works Search for `.*$` (end $): it works Search for `^.*` (start ^): it crashes Does it happen for a new document? Yes If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following: I tried switching hardware performance on and off - it still crashes In the meantime: are there other workarounds to find bold text ONLY if it is in the beginning of a line/paragraph? publisher_crash.mov
