Crash with Text Styles Editor

This fix in today's editor introduced a crash: "Text Style Editor: Dialog no longer remembers the last category that was selected"

1. Edit a paragraph style and set to Paragraph > Spacing
2. Edit a character style - it shows you editing the same paragraph style - click Cancel
3. Edit the character style again = crash.

After seeing similar crashes myself, I have tested and can confirm the recipe above results in a crash for me.

macOS 14.3.1, Publisher 2.5.0 beta 2430

Thanks Mike! I've reproduced and logged this.

Same problem here, for me, after the crash, I can select a text style to edit, but after the opening the text style editor and closing, all further style names show as the first style so unable to edit any other text styles

A workaround that has worked for me. Edit a text style. Click something else in the left pane such as Font and then click Style again. If you're editing Body but it's showing Heading 1, change the style name to Body. Then if you make some changes and click OK it will work normally.

Cheers
