I looked and didn’t see anyone else posting about this…
Last night I coped an article about plot structure off the internet (it was 2,900 words long) and stuck it in the Research section, and then went to bed. This morning, when I tried to go on it, it crashed Scrivener. (It crashed both when I clicked on “Research” and when I clicked on the ‘new text’ section I’d made for it.) I thought it might be a bug, so I tried opening several different projects and testing to see if all of them were crashing or if it was just the content from that one webpage, or what. When I typed a short sentence into a new text on the research section, closed Scrivener, reopened, it worked. I copied a short amount of text, it still worked. I copied something that was about 1,500 words, it worked. I copied something that was about 1,000 words but had a lot of formatting (it was a page from a discussion thread on here) and it crashed it when I closed it off and tried to reopen it. I copied nearly 9,000 words from a novel of mine, and it worked. So I’m pretty sure it’s the formatting, not the length? And now I can’t use the research section at all on any project it crashed on cause it crashes when I click it. >.> I can’t even delete the new text sections that are crashing it, because it crashes when I right click them too.
Scrivener was working almost perfectly before now, too.
