Freek Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi, I have experienced this bug a couple of times now. Here's what happens: I have a document with multiple text frames. I tried selecting multiple lines of text using Ctrl and the mouse button to change the appearance for these selected lines of text. At some point during the selecting process, while I'm holding the Ctrl key, quite randomly Designer crashes and closes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted July 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Freek, Could you attach the document you are using that is causing the crash please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freek Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Sean, Since it's a work in progress I'd rather not send the original file. Luckily I was able to recreate the bug with a new file. See attachment. Also, I think it has something to do with having multiple artboards while Ctrl selecting text. Crashtest.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted July 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Freek, Thanks for the file, I've tried myself selecting some different lines of text (using Ctrl+Drag and also Ctrl-Triple Clicking to select the line, and it doesn't seem to be crashing for me. Do you get the same crash when using Arial instead of the Hops and Barley font (which I don't have). If possible are you able to record a quick video demonstrating the crash? Thanks again!

Freek Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hey Sean, I changed all the fonts to Arial, saved the file and tried again. Same result: Designer crashes within seconds. I've managed to record it, see attachment. The moment the video stops is the moment Designer crashes.

Staff Sean P Posted July 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Freek, Thank you very much for the video, I have a feeling it is having the Character Panel docked that is causing the crash. Previously I had been trying without this visible and couldn't reproduce it. As soon as I docked it like you have it crashed! Would you mind seeing if you can still reproduce this with it either floating or turned off? I'll get it passed on to development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freek Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Hi Sean, You're welcome. I tried your suggestion of undocking the Character panel and vigorously started selecting text, switching text frames in between clicking. After 3 minutes, still no crash so I believe you're on the right track. I docked the Character panel again and tried Ctrl selecting text again. No crash. Closed the file. Opened it again, kept the Character panel docked and clicked away on the text. No crash. Closed the file. Opened it again, turned the Character panel off. Ctrl clicked text. No crash. So to me, it seems undocking the panel did something to make the bug go away. Or it was just a coincidence ofcourse. In any case, good luck. And if you need more info I'll be glad to help out.
