garrettm30 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I just tried it, and indeed, the first quick test I made resulted in the colorful spinning beachball of death (still spinning even as I type this). All I did was create a new paragraph style, give it the name "New style" and saved it. I did not even apply it to text.

Old Bruce Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 Make a new document, open a previous document. Try to make or edit a new or existing text style. Doesn't seem to matter if there is text present or not. This is with the latest (and the previous) beta from today, [531].

Staff Jon P Posted January 16, 2020 Staff Posted January 16, 2020 We have this logged, we have had reports of this for a while but oddly enough myself and PaulS have recently started being able to reproduce it. We are looking into why this is happening on some set ups and not others, unfortunately the developers are still struggling to reproduce it on their machines but we have atleast seen it happen internally now!

No. I use 1.7.3 fairly regularly, and editing styles is a major part of my workflow, yet I have never seen the app hang or crash (that I can recall) when editing styles. It did hang for me in beta 531. I also am using macOS 10.14.6 like Old Bruce.
