I just upgraded to 3.4 (from 3.3.6?) and the program is crashing in a very peculiar way. When I type more than 5 letters into one of my documents (one of a couple of hundred in a project) the program crashes. Other documents and other projects seem fine. Just this one document that I was working on when I took a few minutes to allow the upgrade to happen. After every crash the program re-indexes all the open projects at start up. (I keep three projects open.)
( I have the Apple crash log if you want it.)
Any ideas?

Yeah, feel free to send in the crash log to tech support (use email to send attachments), and if you can share a copy of this project, or a stripped down copy with just the section that causes crashing, that would help a lot!
Meanwhile, something to try when one single project is giving problems, is to reset the project’s display settings. The other most common cause for crashing, especially while editing, is images in the text that are perhaps poorly saved (and sometimes complex formatting that probably shouldn’t be there, that was pasted from another word processor at some point).
I would suspect the reboot, if the problem was so specific as to only be in one single binder item in one project. Could be something as simple and transient as a memory bug. If it crops up again though, go into the General: Warnings settings pane, and enable internal error reporting. That will give you an early warning if something goes wrong in a subtle enough way that you normally wouldn’t notice until it starts causing weird problems later on.
As for compatibility, we’ve been testing since the beta builds, and all through 15.0, 15.1, 15.1.1 and 15.2 beta (and now official), and I’ve never seen anything like that.
