After booting up I can type and delete text with no issues until I try and navigate with any of the arrow keys, then I get the spinning-wheel and the application turns to “not responding” and I have to Force Quit. This will also happen if I try to type in the “Help” bar. Potentially other actions will trigger it, but I haven’t found them.
I’ve tried:
Opening a new blank project (in and outside of iCloud)
Trying a previous project
Reseting preferences
Uninstall and Reinstalling
Installing a legacy version
Resetting keyboard settings and preferences
Rebooting my laptop (many many times)
(noticing then) Updating my Mac to the latest version (then retrying previous steps)
Booting in Safe Mode (the issue was still present)
I’m at a loss. The issue still presenting in Safe Mode makes me think this is an application and not a system error. But I’m not sure.
I am a Windows user, so feel free to completely disregard this post.
Should you be a Windows user too, I’d be confident that it is worth having a side look at your anti-virus.
Now, if you open a project (a blank test one), you say you can type, if you don’t do any of the things that you’ve identified as cause for Scrivener to hang or crash, after typing a word (or even just a single letter, for all that it matters), can you save that project?
