I experienced a string of crashes with Edit \> Text Tidying \> Strip Leading Tabs. I had done a Paste and Match Style from an outline to a new document in Scrivener. Each line started with two tabs. I selected the lines and ran Strip Leading Tabs. Nothing seemed to happen. The editor was unresponsive. When I clicked the Binder, Scrivener crashed. When I reloaded Scrivener, only one of the selected lines had been stripped of leading tabs. I selected the remaining lines and retried Strip Leading Tabs. Scrivener crashed again. This happened a couple more times. Eventually, Strip Leading Tabs did work. It worked when I just placed the cursor in the Editor without selecting anything. ---

Strip Leading Tabs crashed Scrivener again, except this time I didn’t select the lines, so that isn’t a required step. I can reproduce the crash 100% with the steps above where I select the lines. If I don’t select the lines, it didn’t crash one time, and it crashed the other time, so not 100% but it still crashes. ---

1. I cannot reproduce. (Scriv 3.3.1, MacOS Ventura) 2. Have you tried copying the very text you posted here and seeing if the same effect ensues? It may be that the goblin that has got you did not carry over with the text you Pasted into your forum post. 3. Are you working always with some _pasted_ text, or can you reproduce with a fresh document and _freshly typed_ text of the same sort? 4. I would apply Scrivener’s Zap Gremlins command to your trouble text and see if that fixes it. It seems highly likely that you have a bad character code in the text that is producing this effect. Gremlin characters are usually acquired from text copied and pasted from elsewhere (e.g. web pages). Needless to say, ideally no character you can get into a doc (by pasting or otherwise) should crash or freeze the app, but … these things are complicated. ---

I just tried copying the text I posted here and got the crash first time. I get the crash without pasting, by typing in the text in a fresh document. But I’m not getting the crash when I try this in a new project. Zap Gremlins on the problematic text didn’t stop it crashing. I tried Zap Gremlins on the whole of the draft folder; it didn’t fix it. ---

It’s seems like there’s something particular about my project that’s causing the crash. The Draft folder is 185,000 words. It’s a big haystack. Other fixes I’ve tried: 1. Emptied the Trash folder. 2. Deleted images and PDFs from the Research folder. 3. Deleted Project Bookmarks 4. Removed all inline annotations from project (I thought this worked because it didn’t crash the first time, but it crashed the second time). 5. I dragged the entire contents of my Draft folder to a new project and it stopped the crash. This might have to be my solution, but it feels risky as I might forget to carry something across, like a style or preference. ---

It is puzzling what else the Strip Leading Tabs function might be doing with the project which goes beyond processing the text of the doc. I’m out of ideas. Hopefully someone will come by that has more. You might want to contact Lit&Lat support as they can probably read the crash report and have a clue, or they might be able to take a look at the project itself, if you don’t mind bundling it off to them. ---

Crash reports only help us out so much, the problem with this case is that it was never reproduced outside of the original project as I understand it. I checked our records, and unfortunately there was never any data sent in to tech support. Presumably they felt comfortable enough with option 5 to continue onward with it. If you’d be willing to send a sample project that crashes when using this command, we’d love to see it! Otherwise you’re going to have to find why it happens, and describe it to us, so we can try recreating those conditions. ---

I’ll see what I can do about trying to replicate this with a fake project (loren impsum generator, here I come!) I do have a theory I want to test: The project in question had bulletted lists and then tab indents after. - Item —\> —\> - Item —\> —\> I’ve used Strip Leading Tabs before with no issues. I don’t think I’ve used it with the above example. I’ll try to get to this today. ---

Thanks, I got the three crash logs you sent in earlier, by the way. As for lorem, if you can’t get it to happen in a fresh test project, here are some instructions for [scrambling your project](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/127184/25). That should retain any qualities that would reproduce the bug, as it transposes all letters and numbers to ‘x’. Thus the word counts, word wrap (by and large) and other picky variables will be about the same. As for lists, it _does_ strip out the first tab in a list, that pushes the marker away from the beginning of the line, however it should come back after a reload, as that is kind of generated from the formatting rather than the other way around, as I understand it. Tabs on the ends of lines shouldn’t ever be touched (unless I guess it is the whole line). ---

I cannot replicate it with the loren ipsum fake project. I tried it again with the project this happened in yesterday only to find I had manually removed the tabs and bullets and’fixed’ everything. BUT… I just added bullet lists and tab indents and the project froze! WOO-HOO! It didn’t crash. Lemme try it again to make it crash… nertz, nothing. Scrivener is working propery now. DARN!! 😉 **I’ll bookmark this thread and if/when it happens I’ll try the scrambling and email it to you.** Thanks for you help! ---

It happened again! And… _what’s totally kewl_ is that I WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT as per @AmberV’s fresh test project suggestion above. I also used the scrambled project instructions and did that. Crash report and zipped file sent!
